Many of the city's Bradford pear trees split apart under the weight of the ice. The city of Charlotte was developed first by a wave of migration of Scots-Irish Presbyterians, or Ulster-Scot settlers from Northern Ireland, who dominated the culture of the Southern Piedmont Region. German immigrants also settled in the area before the American Revolutionary War, but in much smaller numbers. They still contributed greatly to the early foundations of the region. James Crawford-Smith is Newsweek's royal reporter, based in London.
Boomers Are Refusing to Give Up Their Large Homes
President Joe Biden on Monday released a statement calling the officers "heroes" and saying he and first lady Jill Biden will be praying for the families and the recovering officers. The president also spoke with Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles to express his condolences and support for the community. Tuesday afternoon, she stood in front of the damaged house and marveled at the destruction. And she wondered aloud if the gunman had been sneaking around the upstairs of his house, shooting down at police officers from multiple locations. Contributions may also be donated to the families of the four officers killed, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Tuesday.
officers shot, 4 killed
Fortunately, the Aquarium is big enough to engage the kids but small enough that they are not exhausted by the time they’ve toured all the exhibits. We have enjoyed this event twice, once when my oldest was just two-years old and last year when the kids were 8 and 3. One of the most adorable parts of the event is seeing a train full of little kids in their Christmas jammies along with local kids performing as actors in the story. The train takes a journey through a mini narrative of the book, The Polar Express, with story reading, songs, and treats onboard. It then stops at “The North Pole” where kids see Santa and his elves, then re-board to travel back.
The Royal Arrival
Discovery Place nature has an outdoor play space where kids can build in the natural world, insect exhibits, a naturalist lab, and nature trail. The Charlotte area is particularly blessed to have a number of great children’s hands-on, learning museums. Three of these bear the Discovery Place name and are located in different parts of the Greater Charlotte area. Carowinds also offers Fast Lane passes for visitors who want to stand in line less. Not surprisingly, the passes usually only include the larger coasters. As of this writing, only one Camp Snoopy ride offers the option, so consider Fast Lane only if you have thrill-seeking older kids.

Old Charlotte Neighborhoods
African Americans, who comprised 40% of Mecklenburg population, were now free. Charlotte’s population doubled during the 1860s, hitting 4,473 in 1870. Head out to Reed Gold Mine near Albemarle, North Carolina, to explore the Reed family’s actual mineshafts and pan for gold yourself. Tradition holds that there was even a full-blown Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence created on May 20, 1775.
Prince Adolphus is Charlotte's caring older brother. He is 23 when the series takes place.
"And he certainly dedicated his life and gave his life to serve our citizens." Lyles was among the many public officials who reacted to Monday's shooting. "These men and women who all responded to this incident yesterday were courageous, because they knew what they were getting into and still showed up anyway," Redford said. "[The suspect is] where he belongs. I quite frankly don't have anything to say about him other than he deserves everything he got." Court records show Hughes has a pending case from late 2021 out of Person County for possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of marijuana.

Perhaps the picture was taken before Kate took her daughter to the ballet? On Saturday, the Princess of Wales was spotted with Charlotte and Charlotte's friends at the Royal Opera House in London, watching the Royal Ballet and the National Ballet of Canada's performance of Cinderella. In the new image, Charlotte appears to be wearing a different dress she wore to the performance (white, instead of pink).
On nights where River Jam Concerts are offered, stay and enjoy the many on-site locally brewed beer options for adults. As the night goes on, the concert will slowly begin to draw an older crowd, but kids are extremely welcome and often provide adorable entertainment dancing by the water’s edge. As you might expect, hiking is extremely popular onsite whether kids are in running strollers, strapped to your back, or on foot. You will also see recreational cyclists everywhere as well as hard-core mountain bikers throughout the paths.
But upscale restaurants still barred African Americans – until a remarkable series of events unfolded in May of 1963. Crusading dentist Dr. Reginald Hawkins led a march from JCSU to City Hall demanding total desegregation. Cities elsewhere in the South were meeting such requests with police dogs and firehoses. Then-mayor Stan Brookshire determined that Charlotte would be different. He phoned Chamber of Commerce leaders and quietly arranged for white-Black pairs to eat lunch, integrating each restaurant. The action – coming a year before the 1964 Civil Rights Act which required integration in all public places – gained national notice for Charlotte.
The image showed the princess seated on the arm of a chair, with Prince Louis on the other side and Prince George behind, framing Kate in the center. The photo took on increased significance as it was the first to be released of Kate following her abdominal surgery in January. On Christmas Day, Charlotte was photographed walking to church at King Charles' Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England, with her parents and siblings for the annual church service.
He said two women ran outside the house, as did another man, and authorities crashed an armored vehicle through his backyard to reach the two downed officers. In response to Monday's attack, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Foundation created a Help Our Heroes fund, providing mental health care for local public safety employees and first responder agencies. The fund would also be used to support impact agencies and their employees. Adams later told the USA TODAY Network that Congress has "done this kind of thing” before, commemorating those who have fallen or been shot. She said the "time is up for that." "He fought for several hours and passed away from his injuries with his wife and family by his side tonight," Jennings wrote on X. "I am truly grateful for his bravery, service and ultimate sacrifice. He will never be forgotten, and we are forever indebted."
Surprisingly, acting was not Thomas' original career path as she studied public health at Yale University before making the pivot to acting. Order a plate of barbecue or a banh mi sandwich from one of the food trucks roaming the streets. The young princess has built up a reputation as a cheeky child for her silly antics during public appearances such as when she stuck her tongue out at photographers at a summer yacht race in 2019. Princess Charlotte looks just like her father in the photos released Sunday, where she's seen hugging the family dog, a black cocker spaniel, in one photo. Prince William and Duchess Kate shared three new photos of their only daughter on Sunday, ahead of her birthday Monday. The portraits of Charlotte were taken in Norfolk, England, this weekend by her mother, who celebrated 11 years of marriage to William last Friday.
Charlotte's eighth birthday comes a little over a week after what would have been her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's 97th birthday. A new photo of the late queen with some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was released to mark the occasion. The area that is now Charlotte was first settled by European colonists around 1755 when Thomas Spratt and his family settled near what is now the Elizabeth neighborhood. Developed in the 1920’s, the Wesley Heights neighborhood is located on Charlotte’s northwest side and is a designated historic district in the shadow of the city’s skyline. Wesley Heights is one of the few neighborhoods in town that you can find a Dilworth-style bungalow for under $200,000; some renovated homes are selling for more than $300,000 in Wesley Heights.

The actor is also no stranger to playing noblemen, having previously appeared as Lord Westcott in "The Royals". He was born in 1713, putting him on the cusp of 50 when "Queen Charlotte" takes place. King George was 23 when he married in 1761, meaning young King George is likely to be the same age in the series. This makes sense since the king does behave more maturely than the young queen. According to IMDb, the actor was born in March 1952, making him 71. If the year is 1817, the older King George III is likely to be 79 years old, since the king was born in 1738 in real life.
