So What's Charlotte Going To Be Like For DNC?

Cedar Posts has the skinny.

"Ballantyne" is the area south of town where many of the area's wealthiest (and whitest) people live. In recent months there has been talk of Ballantyne "seceding" from the rest of Charlotte/Mecklenburg County to escape the onerous property taxes used to fund the (mostly black) urban schools. Unfortunately for me the Ballantyne area is just south of where I work, so I may get caught in DNC-related traffic on my way home from work in the mornings. Hopefully not.
