Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx sees the Democratic National Convention that begins next week as a turning point for the city he has called home for all 41 of his years.
"It's actually the first time many people across the country will get an opportunity to know Charlotte the way I know it," Foxx told CBS News in an interview this week.

Charlotte mayor: "We make it possible"
Ah, poor Charlotte, always seeking to be “on the map” and always failing. Fox and his Charlottean ilk appear to be the direct descendents of George Babbitt and his desperate “boosterism” for the not-so-great city of Charlotte, er, I mean Zenith.
I was born and raised in Charlotte and couldn’t wait to get the hell out. Too hot and too muggy in August, but beyond that, a provincial, insipid city with a fake cultural veneer plastered over a facade of no actual culture at all.
Charlotte is located in the south’s Piedmont area, a no man’s land equidistant between the Atlantic ocean and the Appalachian mountains, and it has only the indolent and muddy Catawba river as its sole “outstanding” geographic feature. And while Atlanta is fundamentally just a bigger version of Charlotte, I always kidded everyone that at least Atlanta had Stone Mountain as something tourists might be interested in: “Hey, at least Atlanta has Stone Mountain!”
(BTW, apologies to my friends and family still trapped in Charlotte, though I think some of them would at least partially agree with me regarding their native city.)
Want to see what the Government built in Charlotte? Just go down to their Amtrak station and sit a couple of hours, listening to the conversations. Last time I was there, this lady was moaning about her income...her solution, have another baby...got it?
