This was a sunset tour of Uptown Charlotte, which lasted right at an hour, and finished at sunset. We had a nice sized group, which added to the energy of the walk. Hannah was superb, and you could tell she was an Art/History major, as the facts were rolling off her tongue! The stories of each place were woven together and took us thru our American history to present day! It was the perfect hour spent!ebonyc602
