Charlotte’s Urban Apocalypse
Always-vigilant HouseGuest columnist Tom Ashcraft spotted Charlotte popping up in The Huffington Post, which riffed on a fascinating video featuring the Queen City.
The stop-action paper animation film, produced by Rob Carter, plays out a futuristic version of Charlotte’s rise and fall.
Carter’s critique of Charlotte as “one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, primarily due to the continuing influx of the banking community” rings outdated with area unemployment standing upwards of 12 percent, the big banks trying to dig out of bunkers, and transplants no longer flocking to the city; but with Center City Partners hell-bent on world domination, his vision of Charlotte’s future could well be prophetic.
