From the Paper:

"Since its beginnings, Charlotte has evolved into a bustling urban center of the South. It now reigns as one of the fastest growing cities on the East Coast. Charlotte has had a rich past, dating all the way back to before the Revolutionary War. Through the generations, it has continued to show promise, despite limitations such as the narrow needs of supporting the Caucasian majority of the population and fighting rising crime rates. However, recently new additions to transit systems and dedicated Police and Government officials have brought new hope to the city. More diversity is emerging out of the heart of Charlotte. Crime rates, especially murder, are decreasing from their 2005 highs."
