Battle of the Hoods ... It's Over!
Posted by Carlton Hargro on Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 7:35 AM
Voting for the Battle of the Hoods is officially over. So, we're no longer tabulating votes.
The winner seems pretty obvious, but we'll make an official announcement in a few weeks and present the winning plaque to a lucky location in the top neighborhood.
Any suggestions for where we should hang the award? Post your ideas.
Lastly, let me — and the entire CL staff — thank everyone (big ups to Kenny!) who made this Battle of the Hoods contest a mind-blowing success. It surpassed all of our expectations and really proved that Charlotte has an incredible amount of pride in its neighborhoods.
We'll definitely do this again next year. In the meantime, check this space and the print version of CL for times/dates/locations for the official presentation of the winning Hood.
Again, thanks!

I would love to suggest that we do the official hanging of the plaque at Solstice Tavern. We all go there, it's central, and they won't mind if I move it to the other businesses every week for the.... "BEST HOOD PLAQUE TOUR OF 08." :0)

Hey Carlton... any chance to have the plaque given at our next neighborhood association meeting? The neighborhood is responsible for showing the unity and force that MAKES us numero uno hood. I believe it's 630pm on Tuesday, April 1st at the Evening Muse. We actually want to tour it's display so that every business in NoDa gets a chance to have it.
