We appreciate the hard work and dedication that our city’s sanitation workers are putting into their jobs.⁣
⁣
We know it’s often a thankless position. So, we want to say that we see you, we respect you, and we thank you. Now, we are asking for the Charlotte creative community to help us say "Thank you," too.⁣
⁣
For this week’s challenge, we want you to create a sketch of a graphic thanking the sanitation workers who have kept our streets clean. ⁣
⁣
If we like your sketch, we’ll commission you to complete the graphic and give you a $50 honorarium. To be considered, please send a sketch of your idea to us by 11pm this Sunday, May 24. It doesn't have to be complete. Just a simple idea that will translate well on social media. We'll pick from there and work with you on a final graphic.⁣
⁣
For more guidelines and information about how to submit your idea, use the link in our bio.

The beer ... and the knowledge ... starts flowing

The beer ... and the knowledge ... starts flowing at 4:30PM tonight when Desmond Wiggan of @batteryxchange_ visits Packard Place Public House. We’ve had the good fortune of hearing Desmond tell the story of his company before and it is well worth your time. Very inspirational. So, register, grab a cold one and Zoom in. #Repost @packard_place

Happy Meck Dec Day! We’re proud that declaration

Happy Meck Dec Day! We’re proud that declaration of independence from England started right here in the Queen City in 1775. Thomas Jefferson may disagree, but ... hmmmm ... what motivation would TJ have to cast aspersions about whether the Meck Dec was real? Let’s think ... 😉⁣

This photo was taken in 1960 by SH Kress and is preserved in the Carolina Room’s image collection. ⁣

Caption: “This bronze marker is located at the Square to commemorate two significant events in Mecklenburg County's history. The inscription reads, `Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, May 20, 1775 and the Battle of Charlotte September 16, 1780.’”

Stop the lies! We must share the ugly truth ... the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was lost because Captain Jack rode a T. Rex to Philly instead of a horse. The beast’s tiny arms just weren’t strong enough to hold on to the historic document. James didn’t deliver jack. Sorry, @meckdec. We can’t let this cover up continue. It’s eating us up inside. Happy May 20. (@chas.fagan - Tell us you’ll sculpt this if we raise the cash. You’re 1/2 way there already!)

If there are two things we could all do to make these times a bit brighter, it’s spread a little love and lend a helping hand. 🎨=@osirisrain
