Curator’s statement
Charlotte, North Carolina, is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, or solo one. It has a fantastic uptown city area and so many charming neighborhoods with good restaurants and local shopping. I'm a Southern girl through and through, so I appreciate a small city with all of the amenities of a big one!
