Watching punk bands at the Park Elevator
Over street Mall
When Freedom Mall was a nice place to shop
Concrete Connection Skate Park
The old Charlotte O's baseball Team
Watching the old Charlotte O's Stadium burn down
Downtown was "off limits" after dark, trade and try on!
Southpark was refered to as "The Old Mall"
I truly enjoyed these posts! I have lived in Charlotte...not an original and after reading these I felt like I read a Cliffnote book on The History of Charlotte.
I forgot Top O'the Day on Channel 3 and
Uncle Jim Patterson who was Fred Kirby's side kick. The Little rascal club would come on after church on Sundays. That show was my favorite.
AND who remembers PM Magazine?

You know you're from Charlotte if: from someone who has live here since 1993
You still have some Hornets merchandise
You or someone you know claims to have been in the Coliseum the night Alonzo Mourning beat the Celtics in the playoffs at the buzzer in 1993
You remember when 485 only went from HWY 51 to South Blvd
You remember most people who followed the NFL and MLB rooted for the Redskins and Braves
When 96.1 was an Oldies station, was called "Magic", and your parents listened to it in the car all the time
When 95.1 was known as "the Edge" and was an alternative rock station
When 107.9 the Link actually aired music instead of talk shows all day, you also remember when it was called "Sunny 107.9"
You remember there were very few shopping centers south of the Aboretum.
Therefore sometimes it took some people 10-15 minutes to get to a shopping center
When Carolina Place Mall was the place for most teens in South Charlotte to hang out
You own a "Growl Towel" from the Panthers 1996 playoff run and/or you still have a Kerry Collins shirt.
You know who Steve & Michelle Chambers, David Scott Ghantt, and Kelly Campbell are w/out googling them
You remember the puppet chicken in the Bojangles commercials
You remember when the Final Four was here and then-president Bill Clinton was in attendance
You Ice-skated at Eastland Mall and felt safe at the same time
When Ballentyne was nothing but a giant forest w/ a few homes
When most Country roads were not heavily travelled
When there were not so many newscasts
When Bally Fitness in Pineville was a movie theater.
When LL Cool J had a home here (or so I was told)
