The 2012 Democratic National Convention will be in Charlotte.
Some hotels in Rick Hill and Gaffney may benefit, but the choice underlines yet again how out of the running SC is for anything major in life.
h/t South Carolina Soupbox. This out to shame the consultant/bloggers who collect fat fees to make SC an endlessly crappier place to live.
Just up the road, NC has major international universities, the Research Triangle Park, a major banking and shipping center, and well-maintained roads.
We have roads that are a joke, tolls roads that go broke, no cities big enough to host a convention, indifferent universities, and a senator who blocks $400,000 to advance a plan to dredge the port in Charleston because freedom is more important than jobs and trade.
On the other hand, Mecklenburg County- where Charlotte's located, can out-homophobe just about anywhere.
