Charlotte, N.C. Light Rail Video Tour
Have you heard of the Charlotte, NC Light Rail? Chances are, you have. The light rail was a very controversial project that received a lot of press coverage over the last couple of years. The light rail is a reality now. If you live in Union County, NC chances are you spend money in Mecklenburg County and Charlotte. I can’t help but think that your money may possibly support this project. As citizens of Union County, NC this is a public transportation service that you can easily take advantage of and enjoy what uptown Charlotte has to offer and at a reasonable cost.
I have been wanting to ride the light rail for a while just to see how it worked and to enjoy uptown Charlotte. Saturday afternoon, my wife and I decided to go see a movie in the Epicenter station which is beside the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. I brought my Kodak Zi6 video camera to record our trip and to share it with the readers of the Monroe Scoop. To get there, we took I-485 to the South Blvd. exit. Once you get off the exit, the parking deck for the light rail is about 2 blocks on your left, you can’t miss it. Parking is plentiful, dry and free. I don’t know about you, but me and free get along nicely. Enjoy the video.

The video above was shot with my Kodak Zi6 Flip Camera. That’s why I call these videos Z-Videos. I love this camera and you will too. You can make a purchase through Amazon and the same camera I use will be delivered to your front door. If you use my Amazon link, I’ll make a few bucks and you will help to support the Monroe Scoop.

I haven’t made it up to ride the light rail just yet, but this made me want to… I’m thinking Whiskey River
Hopefully “Charlotte” is not too insulted, I just gave them some positive, free publicity.
I like your blog, but why do you keep referring to CHARLOTTE as “Charlotte, NC.” Charlotte is a major city. People don’t usually reference the state of major cities. Few say “Boston, MA,” or “Cincinnati, OH.” It’s just Boston, Cincinnati, Charlotte. IT’s insulting to CHarlotte to think you have to add NC.
Very informative video, Steve. Not being a Charlotte native, I had no idea the Light Rail existed. Makes me want to pop over there one day for an afternoon excursion. Thanks for posting the video.
