Flair, known as “The Nature Boy” in wrestling circles, retired two weeks ago from the world of professional wrestling after a career that spanned nearly four decades. He wasn’t born in North Carolina but has lived in Charlotte for most of his life, and had a huge fan following.
FYI, Republican candidate for NC governor Fred Smith is currently holding a series of rallies this month to give voters an opportunity to get to know who he is and where he stands on the issues. Appearing at these rallies will be country music singer and Fred Smith supporter Lee Greenwood, who will sing several of his hits, including his signature song “God Bless the USA.”
The Charleston Post and Courier reported this past weekend that the SC Highway Patrol is under state and federal investigations for allegations of widespread use of excessive force against people stopped for traffic violations:
Stephen Curry and the gang at Davidson played their behinds off tonight against #1 Kansas, proving that just because you’re ranked #10 doesn’t mean you have to play like a #10 team. In the end, though, as the last 16 seconds of the game winded down with Davidson in possession, the last second shot didn’t go through, and the Jayhawks won 59-57, and will go on to play Carolina in the Final Four.
There are four games total this evening, but the one North Carolinians will be most keen on watching is the 7:10 game, which sees the #10 Davidson Wildcats take on #3 Wisconsin. Davidson is a North Carolina town that is about a 20-25 minute drive from Charlotte. Needless to say, the town is going absolutely wild (more here) about the ‘cats’ making it to the Sweet 16. The population in Davidson? Under 10,000. A blip on the map, but filled with people with crazy about their college basketball team.
All is well with the world again. 😀
