Rhiannon wrote a new blog post: Book review: Charlotte North Carolina: A Brief History
Do you ever look around the Queen City and wonder what came before? How did College Street get its name? Have the various neighborhoods always battled for attention?

Rhiannon commented on the blog post State of the Arts: What does ‘creative’ look like?

Rhiannon wrote a new blog post: Creative Crossroads: What does ‘creative’ look like?

When you envision an artist, what do they look like?

Rhiannon commented on the blog post Catawba Conservancy Festival
I once interviewed another Rankin, Richard, who also includes his land in the conservancy. They’re an amazing family with a long, rich history — all tied to this chunk of earth.
