When I was growing up in Charlotte in the 1950s and 60s, it was
still a relatively small city that harbored big ambitions. In 1960,
it still hovered in the long shadow of its big sister Atlanta. Atlan-
ta, then, was the 24th largest city in the U.S. with a population of
487,000. Charlotte was 59th, with a population of 201,000. I re-
member the local newspaper, The Charlotte Observer, trumpeting
our breaking the 200,000 mark.
