Sure, everyone complains about the parking and the construction, but after spending too much time in some straight up nasty airports the last couple of years (I’m looking at you, LaGuardia), I’ve really come to appreciate and enjoy Charlotte Douglas. After my return flight home from visiting family in Ohio last week, I stopped into the new 1897 Market and was blown away by all that they’re doing. I mean, local sourcing at an airport restaurant? Come on! That’s when it hit me. Charlotte Douglas is actually pretty awesome.
This is my third post for the #DesignCharlotte campaign, a cool program (details below) encouraging Charlotteans to share their favorite things in the Queen City. Not surprisingly, my first two posts were completely about food. Interested? Check out my Foodie Guide to Charlotte and Foodie Guide to Charlotte Restaurant Week.
