The NASCAR Hall of Fame is a Bust

The NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC is not the success it was supposed to be. The multi million conglomerate is empty on most weekdays and even on the weekend, the crowd is lacking in numbers.

Charlotte promised NASCAR the world in exchange for the rights to have the Hall of Fame in the city. The promises included only one dollar rent, per year, if they would decide to allow Charlotte to build the Hall of Fame there.

What a waste. Libraries are closing early on most day and on Sunday and Monday, they are not open at all. What is more important; a big empty build or access to the library?

For Charlotte, it is the big empty NASCAR Hall of Fame Building.

Is Charlotte NC Still Segregated?

It seems as if Charlotte, NC is still segregated, at least when it come to their transit system! The buses are situated in a way that white people who work in the uptown/downtown area catch their buses on the side of the transportation center away from the other people who catch the bus.

The buses for the uptown/downtown workers are plush with cloth seats and some of the buses even have TVs in the ceiling. Not only are the buses plush and comfortable, the bus drivers treat these riders with respect that is not given to black riders.
