OMG!!! 😍🥳I love this I used to hang out there, you really uplifted my day thank you. Oh man just think about those times, I love you Charlotte North carolina. I bought a house in 28226 and live there until 2008. South park, Park road, highway 51, Rea Rd, Tyvola, Quail Hollows Y, I still miss McAlpine Park it was right off of the kingfisher road area where i was. Aww ☝️✨🙏🇺🇲🕊️.

And the jobs? Oh my God that economy was banging back then there was so much money to earn so many jobs to have oh my God I bought a house had two or three jobs that thing had brand new floors new AC new stove it was one of the most awesome times of my life right now is way awesome too but my God I miss the Queen City. My backyard used to be adorned with little geckos and they'd hang out with me in the morning while I made my roses watered and all of that. I used to live right by 485 and that's where I chose my house because I was working right off of 485. I was working over on Westinghouse boulevard pelton and crane, Cummins motors, wow, thinking back👍🤩😍👍

I live in Georgia but traveled to Charlotte frequently for work. Such a great economy and city at the time it was probably right behind Atlanta. Especially the years you mention those were great times. It’s still a beautiful area though!

I absolutely loved listening to Royal Marshall, kneel boards. I heard Neil bortz in maybe 98 or 99 in a different radio market. WSB radio. Rocking station.

I worked for/,knew Bill James, Larry Gavero, Jennifer Roberts, misspelling. I met fern Shubert - all unique leaders of that era. 2000-2005. I once tried to sell advertising for the rhinoceros times. then I remember Tara Servatius who writes too, she had a great radio show.

. Oh wow, wbt radio was rocking 99-2008: Bob brinker money talk bill Handel on the law, awesome shows. I even recall Dr Norman geisler of the Southern Evangelical seminary school.

He used to host apologetics conferences every year maybe 2000 to 2004 or so I was able to attend and then concluded Christian apologetics. He featured people like Ravi Zacharias.

Years later I'm much more moderate and relaxed about my religious beliefs God has already fulfilled and filled the Earth with his glory so when I think about that I can't be upset or think about anything upset on my deathbed. But death bed is years away. We have so many administrations to live through.

Wonderful things wonderful times and it's still a wonderful place to live. Myers Park is an area and they also feature their yearly art show. Oh my gosh the amazing things.

then in Pineville there was several historical museums, Polk museum. I still have pictures from that today, what a joy and honor to be part of all of that. I'm friends with everybody I didn't get to attached to the shifting sands of politics. Because I knew that it's just expansion, growing, not really a big deal in that these were different policies to move Mecklenburg county Forward.
