    Don't listen to the haters in these comments, Mileage Mike. Your videos are well done and I like that you don't add music and graphics that interrupt the drive like so many other channels do. We get to see and feel the raw drive around the city and it's very refreshing to find a channel that does that. Charlotte is an amazing city and a busy, active city that's not dead! That's why it's one of the fasting growing cities in the USA. Thanks for your vids!

      They're extending the Gold Line down Trade St. through the middle of Uptown. It's definitely causing a traffic headache for now.
