Abstract:
When the Civil War ended, Charlotte's population was around 5,000. Today, over 650,000 people live there. In the space of 150 years, the town moved from being a farming area to an industrial one and then to a modern financial center. Adams describes three places that give visitors a feel for Charlotte's past: the Levine Museum of the New South, Mert's Heart and Soul Restaurant, and the Mint Museum of Craft + Design.

Since 1987, Lupie's Cafe in Charlotte has been serving generous portions and daily specials that haven't changed since the restaurant opened on Monroe Street. The restaurant is owned by Lupie Duran, who has worked in Charlotte restaurants her whole life. The restaurant has a following of devoted customers, some of whom dine there five days a week. Eating at Lupie's is as much about the atmosphere and camaraderie as the food.

Abstract:
People who craft ships inside bottles do not always receive a great deal of attention in the highbrow art world. Some, like Jim Goodwin of Charlotte, have achieved true folk art status with their creations of intricate and historically accurate ships. Goodwin focuses mainly on building ships that have a connection to the Carolinas. Many of replicas are of ships that were built in the state, captained by local pirates, or were wrecked along the state's treacherous shores. Goodwin, a history buff, teaches geology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
