Introducing the Shaping Charlotte Podcast 🚊🎙️

Where we’re shaping Charlotte’s future one conversation at a time

Our first few episodes focus on the upcoming 1¢ sales tax vote that could raise $20 BILLION for transportation in Charlotte

Episode 1 dropped today 🎧 Link below

[Charlotte Shadow Mayor @CLTdevelopment]

Andddd we are live. I'm so excited to introduce you to Shaping Charlotte, a podcast starring myself and my awesome friend @Tesho13.

This "season" (are we calling it that?) we will be discussing the upcoming transit referendum – it's impact on your wallet and your neighborhood.

[Charlotte Shadow Mayor @CLTdevelopment]

While I did not file to run this year for council or mayor, I am committing RIGHT NOW to a 2027 run, when I see less incumbency as an obstacle. So expect my face in way more places over the next 24 months and I hope to see you at the polls in 2027.

As the heatwave continues and people head to the pool, a very important point about drowning - the movies get it wrong. In real life, drowning can be silent. There's no splashing, waving, or yelling. That's why you have to always watch kids at the pool.

@cltNFTguy @TheMasters I know a guy running private car transportation throughout the tourney if we’re planning on having some disposable income to spend

Hey @Uber - I walked outside this morning within 4 mins of my pre-planned arrival time, told my driver I needed to grab sunglasses out of my car and then would grab my bags inside but he could start the trip - he said ok, so I went back inside. He then immediately cancelled 😡

First Alert: Another frigid start in the #CLT area, but a gradual warming trend is what highlights the 7 day forecast. Above-average high temperatures will close in on 60° by the middle part of next week! #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

[Al Conklin WBTV @AlConklin]

⚠️First Alert!⚠️ A quick run-thru my local ⁦@HarrisTeeter⁩ at 2pm & so far, #CLT shoppers are behaving nicely! No run on bread or milk in advance of Friday��s winter weather! Saw plenty of toilet paper too! 😂🍞🥛🧻⛄️#ncwx #cltwx #scwx ⁦@WBTV_News⁩ ⁦@wbtradio⁩

Hard to believe @JHolmesLives is gone, & it's even harder to think I've only known him 4 years. Even though our time together was short, his legacy and his spirit has impacted me in a big way.

Here are 800 words for @yallweekly eulogizing my friend John.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.

I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.

To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏

Despite the current weather, #Helene-related dangers are still very much a factor in Western NC.

⚠️ ~300 road incidents remain - including +50 on main roads.

Please refrain from travel for non-emergency purposes.

There should be no confusion of a Watch vs a Warning with this example. A Watch the ingredients are there for something, A Warning it's there. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #WeatherAware

[Al Conklin WBTV @AlConklin]

First Alert: Latest #Helene track continues to suggest rapid intensification once the storm enters the Gulf of Mexico later today. Stronger winds now forecast at landfall late Thursday. That means it is likely stronger as it passes west of #CLT early Friday #NCwx #SCwx #CLTwx

[Al Conklin WBTV @AlConklin]

First Alert: Well-above normal (near 80F) temps for the #clt area this weekend. First day of fall could bring afternoon readings just shy of 90F. 🥵#ncwx #cltwx #scwx
