Hello @wsoctv @JoeBrunoWSOC9 what’s a gal supposed to do when she is trying to follow your coverage on the Mayoral Appointments but gets this message while in Switzerland?

Do you really limit your coverage to only those who live in the US?

@mridenhour Two people… appearently.

When business, tech, sports, and culture meet diplomacy — the future gets a seat at the table.

On January 30, Meridian brought together leaders from business, tech, sports, and culture for an Open Diplomacy Luncheon hosted by Meridian's Acting CEO Deborah Lehr and Ambassador Bill Grayson. The conversation explored how American leadership and diplomacy are adapting in a rapidly changing world — fostering connections that shape the future. 🌍🤝

@mridenhour @MargoinWNC Thank you @mridenhour, there are many reasons to have consulates and honorary consuls and it is a blessing to see someone who recognizes their value. They also play a vital role in the business community

Paris is going green — fast. In 15 years, air pollution's been cut in half, parking spots replaced with trees and parks, and streets turned into bike- and pedestrian-friendly spaces.

If cars go, urban forests can grow. 🌿

Jefferson Griffin is challenging more than 60K votes in his loss to Allison Riggs. He says the ballots are tied to voters who failed to provide their driver's license or social security number when they registered. The voters were listed in an NCSBE database obtained through a records request.

One of the voters whose ballot is being challenged is Spring Dawson-McClure.

After she found out her vote was being called into question, she visited her local Board of Elections and discovered she properly provided her SSN on her form when she registered in 2012.

@CLTdevelopment I rented a little backyard apartment in Eastover ages ago. A couple blocks from the Harris Teeter. The only hard part was getting to work in Uptown via bike was scary af. I tried it twice and then never did it again.

I’m not posting here as much these days… much more active on other platforms. Typically the same handle if you want to follow else where.

@abm_nc See you there.

@Tesho13 When I lived in a walkable city I walked between 5-15 minutes for groceries. The shop that was 15 minutes away was larger but I went there less often because it felt far away. The closer one I went to every week.

@abm_nc Congratulations 🎊

The classic 2BD apartment that made up half of all rental construction in Charlotte prior to 2000 is losing market share. Growth in single households is driving demand for studios and 1BD units while a higher share of family households renting has led to more 4BD construction.

If we want more than a bandaid on the housing crisis, the next increment of development should be legalized by right, in every neighborhood across North America.
