What is the Wednesday Word of the Day?
For our first ever Wednesday Word of the Day we thought we would start with our fabulous city, Charlotte! So, how much do you really know about Charlotte? Did you know that Charlotte was first incorporated in 1768 as “Charlotte Town”? Did you know that in addition to the “Queen City”, Charlotte has also been nicknamed “The Hornet’s Nest” and “The City of Churches”? Since its Charlotte Town days, Charlotte as we know it has grown to include 199 neighborhoods, making it the urbanized area with the Largest Population Increase from 2000-2010 according to the U.S. Census. Along with this growth has come many opportunities and excellent accolades:
- Kiplinger voted Charlotte 2nd in its Best Value City list.
- Urbanophile reports Charlotte as having the 4th Fastest Growing Job Market of 2011.
- Forbes rated Charlotte as #1 for Happiest Young Professionals and RealAge listed Charlotte as one of the 10 Best Cities for a Happy Marriage.
