About Charlotte
North Carolina's largest city and the banking centre of the American Southeast. It grew from a textile-region market town into a financial capital over the second half of the 20th century.
Population about 1,758,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Charlotte is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
