CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA

CITY GUIDE
We would like to dedicate this Volume 10 milestone edition to all of those who have weathered the storm, pivoted, rebuilt, closed their doors, adapted, ordered curbside, shopped small, reopened, and had the strength to carry on. We recognize that this year has been like no other and we want to thank our entire Charlotte community for your ingenuity as we have navigated the unchartered waters of 2020 together. We are proud to say that the passion and commitment within this collective of small businesses is stronger than ever. We are forever grateful to run our locally owned business alongside so many others that continually inspire us. The best part of our job is meeting our talented locals and getting to know why they are so passionate about what they do. It is our great honor to support them. It is our goal to show the soul of the people who have built our city’s wonderful small businesses and to encourage our readers to engage with them beyond these pages. Our community needs us now more than ever, and it is simple: think local when you are looking for ways to enhance your life or elevate your surroundings, pop in our shops, introduce yourself, build relationships and enjoy all that Charlotte has to offer. Every dollar spent at a locally owned business sends a ripple of economic benefit throughout our community. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the businesses that appear in Volume 10 and our talented photographers who helped us create these beautiful images! Live. Love. Local.
