Charlotte Magazine - April 2014

In this issue

In the April issue, we explore one of the most talked-about topics in Charlotte — real estate — and we have a bonus feature on the mysterious death of a Charlotte woman that is sure to capture readers attention. We tell four stories about what it’s like to be a buyer right now, at this moment in the city’s history. Emily Harris writes a hilarious, witty, and sharp essay about setting down roots here with a purchase of a foreclosed home in the suburbs. We also have tips for investors and folks looking to retire here, along with the story of the Charlotte Knights minor-league baseball team, which moves into one of the most valuable pieces of property in town next month.

The bonus feature is a stirring story by Adam Rhew on the death of a Charlotte woman on Bald Head Island 15 years ago. Rhew began researching the story seven years ago when he was a student at the University of North Carolina, and his 9,000-word longform piece explores all the theories and evidence.
