Charlotte Magazine - December 2013

In this issue

This month’s issue explores 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved sports teams of all-time, the 1988 Charlotte Hornets. Loveable losers, they went 20-62 in their inaugural season. But in this case, it truly didn’t matter whether they won or lost. That they were here at all was enough. The story — a 10,000-word oral history by writer Matt Crossman — takes us through that season in riveting and sometimes hilarious fashion. And it shows how this Hornets team put Charlotte on the map with other major cities, and helped pave the way for Charlotte’s future growth into one of the South’s most desirable cities.

Also in the issue, we explore one of the most powerful men in the state, North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis, who unapologetically led a GOP agenda through the legislature that made national news.

We also have a feature on Park Road Shopping Center, a beloved little shopping center where time seems to have stopped 40 years ago.

The issue also includes our annual top dentist list and all the events and food coverage our readers have grown to love in each issue.
