Living Uptown – The Day In The Life Of…

Living  in Uptown Charlotte, NC  is always an adventure.  On any given day residents can enjoy a multitude of activities including sporting events, shopping  and Broadway shows.  The city is filled with a cross section of  busy people including bankers, engineers, entrepreneurs, attorneys, real estate professional, students, etc. 

Below is an example of what one can expect to encounter as a resident of Uptown Charlotte, NC.
