Charlotte, N. Carolina.

Charlotte, aka the Queen City, is the largest city in N. Carolina. It was named after Queen Charlotte, (1744), wife of Charles 111 but her greatest claim to fame seems to have been that she had 15 children!

However, although the so-called founding fathers claimed to be anti-royalty, they named the city after a woman who had never even visited the area. 

Quite a curious situation I would say🥴.


 
On our recent trip to nearby Greensboro, we just passed through this city. 

It was quite pleasant and has interesting murals and artistic exhibits.





Michele who has never seen a piano she could resist, did test out those Uptown, but as they had been battered by the elements, they were all out of tune.😊.






Statue of Queen Charlotte sits in front of Wake Forrest' buildings.






Of course some people I know couldn't resist the stores😁.
