Two fun facts from my business trip to Charlotte:

1) The area of town where all the businesses are, typically referred to as "downtown" in most cities, is conveniently referred to as "uptown" in Charlotte. Takes a little getting used to, but no big deal...

2) Most of the office buildings have this sign posted in the lobby:

No Firearms Permitted on the Premises

Yes, that's right - I said MOST buildings...
