Charlotte becoming a tourism hotspot

Summer travel is in full swing, and people are flying or driving in to visit the Tar Heel state. From hotel stays to shopping and checking out local restaurants, those visitor dollars help stimulate the economy.
According to the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority, the tourism industry generates billions of dollars every year in the Charlotte region.

It's not nearly as bad or congested. Every city has its crime.

I don't know where you were but I was downtown today and I couldn't even sit at a bus stop because homeless people are sleeping on them. There's trash everywhere junkies everywhere everywhere we went there was just garbage.
