Charlotte Magazine - July 2014

In this issue

In Charlotte, our doctors are doing great things. Several are leaders in their field — including one who performed ankle surgery on Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, another who saved the life of an NFL player’s son, and another who’s one of the top lung cancer medical oncologists in the country. We highlight these doctors as part of our Top Doctors issue this month. Also, we explore the life of Joe DeLamielleure, an NFL Hall of Famer and Charlotte resident who suffering from CTE, the brain injury associated with playing football. We have a special feature on Project Life, the movement to add people to the bone marrow list, and the moving story of why so many prominent Charlotteans are joining in the cause.

As always, we have the finest dining coverage in the city, and this month that means a creative beer map that highlights the two neighborhoods that are fueling Charlotte’s craft beer movement. And the July issue includes part three of our 12-part series, “The Story of Charlotte,” which this month moves into the wild times surrounding the gold rush.
