[Mayor Rob Harrington @CLTMayor]

Hello. I’m Mayor Rob Harrington. I'm honored by the confidence City Council has placed in me and grateful for the opportunity to serve. I'll lead by listening, treating people with respect and working every day to do what's best for our city. Together, we'll focus on the issues that matter most to our residents while making thoughtful decisions that will position our city for the future. Over the months ahead, my goal is to help bring people together and keep Charlotte moving in the right direction.

🏃If you're a runner, it would take a six minute mile to go as fast as this traffic on I-85 Sb headed toward Gaston...that's right 10 mph. Somehow it seems slower in a car!

@The_Iron_Van @CAS_CPA and very few of those murders were random. people don't hop on the train to create havoc in your community.

[Architecture Hub @archpng]

Parking lots are already paved, already exposed to the sun, and already taking up huge amounts of space.

Covering them with solar panels can generate power, shade cars, reduce heat, and keep farmland for farming.

The question is simple:
should solar go on open fields first — or on the spaces we already covered?

[Y’all Weekly @yallweekly]

Dale Earnhardt was famously against that flag.

Hate seeing it next to #3.
