Bring out the cake because it’s our birthday. This week marks two years of CLTtoday, and we’re celebrating by sharing some of our favorite moments since our founding in 2024. Here’s a look back on some special articles.

Thanks to CLTtoday, we’ve spent some serious time exploring the 704, including the growth of the River District, Eastland Yards, and the updates planned for Bank of America Stadium + Symphony Park in SouthPark.

Feeling hungry? Over the past year, we celebrated 100+ new restaurants and our MICHELIN Guide debut.

We’ve also sat down with some seriously cool people shaping Charlotte, including Guy Gaster, Director of the NC Film Office, Plot Twist owner Nikki Velazquez, and sports icons like Dell Curry and Luke Kuechly.

Thanks for welcoming us into your inbox every day — we couldn’t do it without you. If you want to give us a birthday gift, consider sending this newsletter to a friend.
