Today’s photo shows a historical sign found in the Southend district near uptown Charlotte. Today Charlotte is still a trading route but on the focus now is banking and NASCAR.
Personally, I like this phot because of the glint of sun on the sign, the sun lighting up the leaves, and the blue of the sky.
The building behind the sign is an apartment complex called The Crown of Queen City.

So cool I just flew through there last week we’d been in Charleston and at first glance I thought it was Charleston in your photo!
Signage like that is similar here.
