USA, North Carolina, Charlotte, View of a cityscape at night
When you see our spectacular images of Charlotte, North Carolina, you will understand why the city was chosen as the "Best Place to Live in America." As such, it enjoys great employment opportunities, low crime rates, and affordable housing. Near the South Carolina border, Charlotte is the largest city in the state and proud to be both a tourist attraction and a banking and transportation center. The city has been catapulted into the status of a sophisticated cosmopolitan municipality by ambitious city and business leaders. The banking movement began there with North Carolina Nation, followed by Bank of America, First Union, and Wachovia. Today it is the second biggest banking headquarters in America. Her skyline is dotted with skyscrapers like the towering Bank of America Corper, the Hearst Tower, and One Wachovia Center as well as the famous McColl Center for Visual Arts. Its "uptown" region is not only a commerce center but an offering of attractions too: Independence Square with its modern statures, the Levine Museum of the New South, the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Omnimax theater, the Nature Museum, Discovery Place, and the huge Ericsson Stadium, home of the NFL Carolina Panthers.
At the time of its founding, Charlotte was first nicknamed the Queen City in honor of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg, but during the American Revolution, General Cornwallis referred to it as The Hornet's Nest due to all the rebellion going on in the city at the time. Certainly Charlotte is an exciting blend of the old and the new; and Great Big Canvas can help you select the perfect image for your decor. Our selection of artwork showcase fine art, photography, and Giclee Prints.
