What can you tell me about a former Charlottean by the name of Harry Golden? I understand he had a significant impact on Charlotte during the mid-20th century and that he is buried in Charlotte's Hebrew Cemetery (I haven't been able to find his tombstone). - Jim Teat, Charlotte

I saw on the news recently that Talmadge Price, who opened Price's Chicken Coop, passed away last week. It's sad, but I'm hoping it doesn't mean we're about to lose yet another one of Charlotte's historic restaurants. Now that he's gone, do you know what its future plans are? - Alicia Groves, Charlotte

- Price's opened its doors in 1962.

Charlotte's westside has always had somewhat of a bad reputation, though I've never understood why. To make matters more confusing I've noticed a lot of new development in the area, and West Morehead has suddenly become hip. What is that side of town's back story, and why is it suddenly popular? - Richard Long, Charlotte

My mom told me a tale about an elephant that once escaped from a circus and roamed Charlotte for a couple of weeks, sometime back in the 1950s. It's the most bizarre story I've ever heard. Do you know any of the details? Madison Tate, Charlotte
