~My latest destination is
Charlotte, the largest city in North Carolina. I walked around the downtown area a bit while I was there and took some pictures:
 |
| A sign in the middle of a sculpture park shows the distance to other communities named Charlotte. Hey! I've been to Charlotte Amalie! |
 |
A fishy sculpture in the park. As time went by, water sprayed from jets at different points around the pool, from both the surface and the mouths of the fish.
 |
| Another sculpture at the park, depicting a stack of famous books. A similar sculpture is on the other side of the stairs to the right, and fake street signs bear the names of famous authors. |
|
 |
| Rev your engines, it's the NASCAR Hall of Fame! It's located right across the street from the hotel I was in. I'd have loved to go inside for some local culture, but it's closed in the evening. Another time, perhaps. |
"And when at last it is time for the transition from megacorporation to planetary government, from entrepreneur to emperor, it is then that the true genius of our strategy shall become apparent, for energy is the lifeblood of this society and when the chips are down, he who controls the energy supply controls Planet. In former times the energy monopoly was called "The Power Company"; we intend to give this name an entirely new meaning."
 |
| A self-explanatory sign, marking the meeting that would soon end the Civil War. |
 |
| The Charlotte skyline, reflected off of a pond. |
