Charlotte, NC One Day
We stayed at the Embassy by Hilton on the outside of Downtown Charlotte and had complimentary breakfast at our hotel.
Downtown Charlotte
From our hotel we took a 15-20 minute (no traffic) Uber ride to the Charlotte Hornets Spectrum center.
From there we walked less than half a on 5th street to Old Settler's Cemetery. This is a small, public, park like cemetery we walked through on the paved path diagonally to the edge of the Fourth Ward on Poplar and Sixth Street to start our walk through the neighborhood.
We then walked less than a mile loop down 3-4 blocks of Poplar, turned left on Settlers Ln, left on Pine and stopped for lunch at Alexander Michael's. This restaurant had good pub style food and fills up quickly. It opened at 11, we arrived 11:45 on a Friday, got a table, and there was a line out the door by 12.
After lunch we walked about one mile down Pine and Mint Street to the Bank of America Stadium, home of the Panthers.
More & South Carolina
After lunch and our 2 mile walk through town we called for a 15 minute Uber (no traffic) to the Sullenberger Aviation Museum. This museum has the plane Capt. Sullenberger landed in the Hudson and more on it. This is also a great plane viewing spot for the Charlotte airport for other airheads (as named by the museum).
