Cemeteries

I love old cemeteries. Elmwood Cemetery in Charlotte is a beautiful old cemetery in the city. Early morning is a wonderful time to go, the city raises up in the background, towering over grave stones that go back to the civil war. Anyone who was anyone in Charlotte is buried in Elmwood and it shows with the massive stones and crypts.

Charlotte Roller Girls

The Charlotte Roller Girls are an all-female flat track roller derby league in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.

The Charlotte Roller Girls held a free exhibition bout in front of the Ayrsley Grand Cinemas 14 to celebrate the opening night of Whip It, a roller derby themed movie directed by and starring Drew Barrymore.

Race for the Cure

Roughly 14,000 participants in Saturday morning's Susan G. Komen Charlotte Race for the Cure which brought a riot of pink to uptown Charlotte. They turned out with a sense of purpose (and humor) to remember those they've lost, honor survivors and raise $1.3million for breast cancer research.

They came wearing pink capes, feather boas, stuffed flamingoes, wigs, T-shirts and sweat suits. A group of burly men sported pink tutus. Pink sheets of paper pinned to their backs listed the people they walked for.
