Somehow, the Charlotte Checkers have managed to make Bojangles Coliseum seem like Maple Leaf Gardens.

They'll move back there after this season, probably.

The Mythbusters tour was at Belk Theater Monday night.

Here's a crude timelapse of the streetcar line being built on E. Trade Street, between Time Warner Cable Arena and the transit center. The CityLYNX Gold Line will run from here to Presbyterian Hospital when it starts running early next year.
