Charlotte NC — Culled from consideration for Amazon’s 2018 or ‘19 corporate expansion

Dear Charlotte Watchers:

We have big banks

And healthcare giants

And a nuclear power station nearby

We have the race cars

And the NASCAR museum

We have forested land for sale and a major airport to boast of

We have uptown (or downtown)

We had Billy Graham and his afterglow

And major and minor professional teams

And Broadway roadshows

And arts and crafts and great ballet

And transplanted grandparents relocating for the children of their ambitious children.

And good weather, y’all

And we bottom out in upward mobility for poor working families after all

Choose us!
