We went to church with Erin, then came back to our AirBnB before a late lunch where we got to meet a friend of Erin’s, then a walk in the park (Freedom), then a stop at Lidl for cereal (and visit an Aldi rival we’d never been to before), then got back together for dinner and relaxation. When a young person picks the places you go, you see a lot more young people than when somebody my age picks.
The street layout of Charlotte is like a bowl of spaghetti thrown against the wall (see The Odd Couple) – roads wiggle every which way without rhyme or reason. Uptown (Charlotte calls its downtown Uptown) is laid out on a grid. Beyond that, it’s every road for itself, with roads frequently changing names, a maze that was made for turn by turn directions.
