Why is this separate from Charlotte, North Carolina? --Wetman 10:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
I'm not the best writer but I have set some ideas in place for expansion of the article so it can be on par with similar articles about the CBDs of other major cities. Please edit my entries and add some more information so we can make this a much better article. --Moonshield 18:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I grew up in Charlotte, as did my parents (now in their 80s). In all that time, I never heard anyone refer to "uptown" -- it was always "downtown." When I was growing up, the only place to shop was "downtown," so this was an everyday word in our world. Perhaps it depended on where you lived in Charlotte. Our families lived and grew up on the west side of Charlotte, in areas now considered close to the city. Perhaps those people who said they called it "uptown" lived on the other side of town. So apparently, both terms are historically correct!--Lindaclloyd 14:56, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I have lived here all of my life and have only heard uptown... My dad works there and he calls it uptown as well.--berekniv 10:19, 30 May 2008
