Accepting the Charlotte Business Journal Business Person of the Year award, Jordan made you proud to live in Charlotte and North Carolina, saying specifically that when he bought the team five years ago it gave him the chance to come home.

Each of his anecdotes was compelling, he was extremely engaging, oftentimes funny, and came across like a common man despite his star power. Common's message of greatness and how it's in all of us, was truly inspiring.

Money magazine highlights two thriving Charlotte neighborhoods in particular: Plaza Midwood, writing, "Just 10 minutes by car from the center of Charlotte, this artsy, bike-friendly neighborhood is an interesting mix of the gritty and the pretty;" and Mountain Island Lake.

So I enjoy reading the many news articles of announcements and updates on new condos, apartment buildings, office towers, hotels, shopping...
