And nearby, a hometown hardware store grew into mega retailer now known as Lowe’s, headquartered today in Mooresville. Still other locally born brands, including Cheerwine and Bojangles’ Famous Chicken n’ Biscuits, also came to regional prominence thanks to Charlotte-area entrepreneurs. Late last month, the royal parents marked the 5th birthday of Princess Charlotte's little brother Prince Louis with two new snaps — breaking with tradition by issuing pictures taken by a professional photographer rather than by Kate. In fact, the Princess of Wales made a surprise cameo appearance in one of the two images, taking Prince Louis for a ride in a wheelbarrow.

The Spangler Library is especially designed to engage all children’s levels, hoping to instill a love of lifelong reading in its young visitors. There is something there for your baby or toddler as well as your emerging and fluent readers. Guests can walk a short nature trail to visit their enclosures to see hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, ospreys, vultures, and others in a variety of habitats. Many of the birds are rescues, and the Center also takes in injured animals as well. In my hometown suburb of Davidson, North Carolina, we have multiple entrances to our greenway system weaving into Cornelius, Huntersville and beyond. Every weekend, the greenways are filled with families walking, jogging, and biking.

But upscale restaurants still barred African Americans – until a remarkable series of events unfolded in May of 1963. Crusading dentist Dr. Reginald Hawkins led a march from JCSU to City Hall demanding total desegregation. Cities elsewhere in the South were meeting such requests with police dogs and firehoses. Then-mayor Stan Brookshire determined that Charlotte would be different. He phoned Chamber of Commerce leaders and quietly arranged for white-Black pairs to eat lunch, integrating each restaurant. The action – coming a year before the 1964 Civil Rights Act which required integration in all public places – gained national notice for Charlotte.

Charlotte's eighth birthday comes a little over a week after what would have been her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's 97th birthday. A new photo of the late queen with some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was released to mark the occasion. The area that is now Charlotte was first settled by European colonists around 1755 when Thomas Spratt and his family settled near what is now the Elizabeth neighborhood. Developed in the 1920’s, the Wesley Heights neighborhood is located on Charlotte’s northwest side and is a designated historic district in the shadow of the city’s skyline.

Poloche is survived by a wife and two children, and Elliot and his wife were parents to one child, state Adult Correction Secretary Todd Ishee said in a statement. Officials believe two people fired at law enforcement, Jennings said. Jennings said the fallen officers were "heroes that were just simply trying to keep our community safe." Charlotte Mecklenburg Fraternal Order of Police President Daniel Redford said the suspect's record speaks to the heroism displayed by law enforcement Monday.

Poloche is survived by his wife and two children, according to the state's correction department. About 30 minutes north of the city is the Lazy 5 Ranch located in Mooresville, one of the towns along Lake Norman’s shoreline. Mooresville offers several great outdoor activities for families such as pumpkin patches and strawberry farms, but our favorite activity there is Lazy 5 because of the amazing up-close animal encounters. Charlotte itself is not on a lake, but just north of the city is Lake Norman, the largest manmade lake in the state of North Carolina.

"They are heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, rushing into harm’s way to protect us," the president said in a statement. "We mourn for them and their loved ones. And we pray for the recoveries of the courageous officers who were wounded." Marshals task force raced into his yard, taking cover behind a powder-blue Honda sedan.

The Speedway also offers STEAM programs that focus on the physics of racing to help kids have fun while learning. While many kids may enjoy the thrill of watching a real race, that’s a big outing. Thankfully, visitors to the area at other times of year can experience the attraction in other ways. Top on my personal list of places to visit is the NASCAR Hall of Fame in uptown Charlotte. The Charlotte area, and in particular, Concord, North Carolina, is home to NASCAR royalty such as Jeff Gordon, Kyle Petty, and Denny Hamlin. In fact, more than 75% of the NASCAR race teams and employees live nearby.

A subsequent study by Neilsen ranked Charlotte the fastest-growing major Latino metropolis in the entire U.S. from 2000 to 2013. In 1998, McColl purchased San Francisco’s venerable giant Bank of America and moved the headquarters to the Queen City, creating the U.S.’s first coast-to-coast bank. Charlotte suddenly ranked second only to New York City as the nation’s biggest banking town.

Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Wales is the daughter of William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, also known as Kate Middleton. She is third in line for the British throne, after her father and her older brother Prince George of Wales. At Independence Square, in the heart of Uptown, four statues tower over Tryon and Trade streets. In auto racing, Charlotte had long been in the big league, ever since NASCAR ran its first-ever professional stock car race at a local dirt track in 1949.

Her younger brother, Prince Louis, turned 4 on April 23, and her older brother, Prince George, turns 9 on July 22. In August, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a photo of their outdoorsy daughter in a periwinkle shirt and pink floral shorts, gazing at a butterfly while she gently held the insect in her hands. Wearing her long hair down, Charlotte is dressed in a light blue sweater with a polka-dot collar peeking through as she poses on a field of flowers.

Historic Charlotte home sales are not your typical resale and having someone knowledgeable in selling them, truly makes a difference in a successful sale. Terry Mikels, a North Carolina-based private investigator and former officer with the Durham Police Department told Fox News Digital that "for eight people to get shot that quickly, something went terribly wrong terribly fast." – Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Chief Johnny Jennings broke down during a Tuesday press conference remembering the four officers who died during a Monday shootout while serving a warrant for a felon in possession of a firearm. The authorities shut down the city’s Shannon Park neighborhood, east of downtown, on Monday afternoon after gunfire erupted in order to more easily move victims to hospitals, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department wrote on social media. Eyer, the CMPD officer whose death was announced Monday night, is survived by his wife and a 3-year-old son, the police chief said. The violence broke out as the task force was serving a warrant on a suspect in possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
