Responses to the December issue of Charlotte magazine

(Ed.: We put WSOC reporter Joe Bruno on the cover for our 2021 Charlotteans of the Year issue.)

Joe (Bruno) deserves the cover! How many people were able to get vaccinated due to his stellar outreach? Thousands!!! Just hoping he has been able to get some more sleep now Tweet from @DugginsBetsey

The number of Charlotte area residents (including me) who’ve gotten vaccinated bc of (Bruno’s) twitter alerts of vaccine slots #vaccinehunter Tweet from @JarrettHurms

(Bruno’s) dedication (to) reporting on board meetings is very impressive, youre one of the few twitter handles I regularly visit for local news. Thank you! Tweet from @DaveKapka This is my absolute fave pic ever. Whyyyyy did we destroy and tear down all this? Imagine how gorgeous uptown would be like this again. I realllllly wish Plaza Midwood could create this though. The old historic district on Central is perfect for it! Instagram comment by @jenkedwards

To: “Christmas Cheers!,” p. 46 Eleven Lakes Brewing Holidaze Ale is also a must try! Facebook comment by Alissa MG

To: “Michelle Castelloe,” p. 28 Love this store!! So many fun things to look at and perfect for gi giving. Nice sta too!! Facebook comment by Dan Culp

To: “A Look at Christmastime in Uptown Charlotte: Then and Now,” p. 32 Uptown Charlotte at night was such an exciting place back then, Christmas was even more exciting. Facebook comment by Bill Vita

I think I like 1940 better Facebook comment by Melissa Huskins To: “The Stu We Carry,” p. 72 Thanks to the team at @CharlotteMag for giving me the chance to write about my dad, his old motorcycle jacket, and how an ex-archaeologist in Charlotte is helping me remember him. Tweet from @JesseSolo

I’m sad I never got to meet my father in law. But I love hearing stories about him from @JesseSolo . His latest @CharlotteMag essay is about one special way he’s keeping his dad’s memory alive. Tweet from @katieperalta

Love this! I lost my dad in July and this has gotten me thinking about how to meaningfully repurpose some of his “treasures.” Thank you for sharing! Tweet from @DrAmandaMcGough I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot lately. @JesseSolo nicely captures the importance of the things we carry: “Memory is an exercise. Sometimes, the little things we hold on to, the stu , is the weight we need to carry to ght o forgetting.” Tweet from @rmathieson

To: “Charlotteans of the Year,” p. 76 An amazing honor right here. Thank you very much. I am humbled and blessed by this. Thank you Instagram comment by @gregjackson704

Congratulations to all! What a well deserved honor! Instagram comment by @pkokbrooks

WOW thanks to @CharlotteMag! Someone rightly pointed out earlier that I am hyper sensitive about my restaurants. I am. We’ve had to ght thru a LOT of adversity to get here, so if I’m a little defensive at times, apologies. But to be acknowledged for this. I’m acknowledged for this. I’m very grateful Tweet from @PatWhalenNC
