Our Charlotte lodgings were in a lovely air b&b on a quiet, suburban street, far away from the tacky glitz, neon, and blaring sounds from Pat Benetar cover bands downtown. We thankfully found great soul food at Mert's Heart and Soul, including veggie collard greens. And the museums truly shined. The Mint Uptown is one of two locations in Charlotte. And the Levine Museum of the New South has developed a national reputation for its work to promote dialogue and understanding about race. We saw a brilliant exhibit focused on the rise of Latino immigrants to the South that cleverly provided visual- and object-based responses to the oft-posed questions, "why don't they just get a job," or "why don't they just get legal status." Great stuff.
