“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin

The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County are planning to invest $3 million to build a new nightclub. The developer claims the place will be a modern “juke joint.” Whatever the hell that is!

The proposed location is the site of a dilapidated Black nightclub built in 1944 which will be torn down. The total cost of the new nightclub will be $8 million. The builder is asking the local government to pay 37% of the cost with an estimated 1% return on investment.

Our local leaders are considering the purchase. At the same time, the city has a shortage of affordable housing. Perhaps families can live at the nightclub???

How can the city of Charlotte even consider owning a nightclub? Is the city in the entertainment business? This is madness!
