Charlotte Magazine - October 2016

I denne utgaven

It's issue No. 2 since our redesign, and you won't want to miss this one: How does a fast-growing city work in harmony with nature? We explore the ways Charlotte is succeeding and how it could improve -- and we consider how coyotes, owls, and eagles are interacting more and more with people as the available land gets developed. We also take a look at the renovations to one of Charlotte's biggest green spaces, Quail Hollow Golf Club, and talk to beloved meteorologist Brad Panovich about whether the city's climate is changing.

Among the other stories you won't want to miss: a transgender man and his battle with breast cancer; an interview with local social media's favorite local politician, Jeff Jackson; and a visit to the town of Lexington for October's big barbecue festival.
