I was in Charlotte, NC, USA to attend a 3 day long plastics conference, where experts in different fields presented their papers. It ranged from material development to manufacturing methods. It was a good learning experience, and I think I know a little bit more about plastic than I did before coming to the conference.
Downtown Charlotte is cute. It is home to Wachovia Bank and Bank of America. It's downtown consists of these company's tall buildings and lots of places to eat either lunch or dinner. There is a little neighborhood called the Fouth Ward right outside of downtown where homes with older architectures are featured. My favorites were the brick townhomes and those houses with the large porches hugging the exterior of the older houses. It was cute.
There are a lot of fried chicken places in Charlotte (and I suppose NC in general). There is Church's, KFC, and the ever-fun-to-say Bojangles. We did not have the pleausure of eating at these establishments, since we were never really in the mood for fried chicken. We did eat our first dinner at the Cracker Barrel though.
The weather was overcast while we were there, so it wasn't like the previous two times I had visited the state when it was hot and humid and very uncomfortable.
So that was Charlotte.
