Arriving in Charlotte

The Ohio Delegation is staying at the Hilton Charlotte University Place or at the Drury Inn & Suites which is across the W. T. Harris Blvd.  Both hotels are located about 12 miles NE of downtown Charlotte which is known as Uptown.  It is in Uptown that we attend caucus, council, & other meetings mainly at the Charlotte Convention Center.  The televised convention activities will be from the Time Warner Cable Arena (home of the NBA's Bobcats & Checkers of the American Hockey League) & weather permitting the Bank of America Stadium (home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers).  Charlotte, the 2nd most important financial center in the US, next to NYC is known for its beauty & friendliness.  After checking in & picking up my Sunday evening credentials, it's been wonderfully overwhelming!
