Charlotte Magazine - November 2014

In this issue

This month, we explore some of Charlotte's most overlooked things -- from hidden art in restaurants to forgotten museums to great food finds to a massive, moving sculpture called "Metalmorphosis," our cover boy. Some of these might seem obvious to some of you, but others might be finding them for the first time. We also have several features that are important to Charlotte's story right now. One is a profile on Michael Bitzer, a political science professor who, in an important election year, has become the go-to source for commentary on North Carolina politics. And we explore the state of the Charlotte arts scene, trying to understand the complicated picture of how our arts are funded.
Also this month, our Around Towns series continues with a profile on Davidson, one of our favorite little towns in the Charlotte area. And we deliver our annual list of top dentists in the Charlotte area.
Our food coverage includes updates on Cantina 1511, which recently moved, and a chicken dish that rises above the ordinary. There's plenty more in this jam-packed issue -- from profiles of the Charlotte Hornets as they enter their first season with their old name, an update on the city's beloved Thanksgiving Day parade, and the latest installment of our history series, "The Story of Charlotte."
