@teddycovers42 @mtrsprtmaniac Charlotte has hosted multiple sporting events at once, including the Panthers and Hornets. Sometimes the Panthers and a concert at Spectrum Center right after. If you're driving into uptown for a game, it's naturally going to be crowded to get out.

The City of Charlotte spent $1M fighting — then settling — Black firefighter lawsuits.

That money was mostly taxpayer dollars, and some of it went to the new police chief’s husband.
