I can never get enough of Charlotte. Been here since ‘99 and the growth has been incredible. I love making content here showing all of the beautiful sites. Great video. You may know me from my other channel but I’m connected to you from this channel too. Enjoy your day!
Love your videos. I’m glad that I subscribed to your channel. Ever since I started watching you guys I cannot stay away from my phone. Hate to missed out on your videos. Tonia, you’re such a smart and knowledgeable woman. Great choice Kemar! This is a blessing for you both. Stay in love and stay blessed ❤️ you guys
Excellent video, great content, I am planning on moving to Charlotte and this IS the best video I have seen. Love your knowledge and the peace you both bring to it! Thanks.
I loved the video. I can't believe I watched the entire thing. I lived in Charlotte in the 90's and a lot has changed. The city has grown but its still Charlotte.
The Earl Village that is in this video is unrecognizable from what it looked like in the late 80's and into the 90's. That use to be a dangerous place to live and commute through. It went down when crack cocaine raised it's ugly head. I had the best of two cities and then a very rural area outside of Charlotte named Burnsville. My dear cousin Steve McLurkin and his brother Wayne were natives of Charlotte and I was from Jersey City NJ. I visited Charlotte and the rural area where I live now every summer until my cousin Steve was accidentally killed in his own yard. Broke my heart and it happened on my birthday. But they lived in West Charlotte off Beatties Ford Rd directly across from Johnson C Smith University. We had a BALL back in the 60's and 70's at a place called the "Bullpen". There was an active town maniac named "The Dome" that when you saw him coming you ran in the opposite direction. Much like a TV character Omar Little from the HBO series "The Wire". Everybody called it a day when the Dome showed up. However I like your video about Charlotte. There are too many videos showing the negative side of this wonderful city and not many lifting the positive aspects of Charlotte. I can tell a lot of wonderful experiences I had as a teenager in Charlotte. My first taste of Pizza Hut was in Charlotte and we did not get one in New Jersey for years after they were established. My first plane ride was to Charlotte. Now you need GPS to find your gate. lol Once I retired I left Jersey for the rural area that the family owned from slavery time right outside of Charlotte. My mother of who just passed in April of 2023 at 102 years old and my Dad had sense enough not to sell their rural property when they migrated to Jersey in the 40's during Jim Crow days. I kept her at home for all of her elderly days. She was able to still have Charlotte when she wanted some city excitement and then head down 218 to Burnsville where there is no red light. If you are at the red light then you are not in Burnsville. Keep lifting Charlotte and bless you for feeding the homeless.
Love this comment 1000X!!! You just brought back more memories. 102 years old, bless her sweet heart! What a blessing. You have some fond memories in spite of some of the tribulations. Thank you for watching and commenting❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello guys awesome video. I live in Greenville sc but my Aunt lived on S. Tryon St when I was a kid and stay summers there. We used to walk uptown just about every night and play with big art peice shaped like a wheel. I'm 56 now so it's been there forever. Uptown has always been beautiful tho
I have never been to USA I do have family living in different parts of USA. So I find this very informative and I like spending this beautiful Friday morning with you both. ❤❤
Loved the video haven’t been to North Carolina but this was great history. I imagine North Carolina A&T is in another area away from downtown. Thanks again very informative ❤
Thank you so much for this tour!I moved from Boston to the Charlotte area a little over 3 years ago, and I have so much to learn about the city. This is just what I needed. You have a new subscriber!!

Thanks for the Charlotte tour...I've been to Charlotte once and went to some club that I couldn't even tell you the name of...lol...one day, we'll visit again
Thank you for the history and the views I learned a lot about Charlotte, I lives 21/2 hrs away came there to a few events , just saw Lion king a few weeks ago there, and ate at Chimas it was great, was wondering about the large tan & black art sculpture in front of Eddie Vs any information on that? Your husband is so Patient and kind ❤Blessed
I live in Illinois and the property tax is out of this world. I think the average is about 4 K. Great video. I enjoyed the tour. My granddaughter graduated from Johnson Wales. 🕊❤️👍🏿
Wow I love this video of your golden childhood memories Katanya ❤❤ . I can see Charlotte is beautiful holds memories never to forget . Kemar could also share his childhood journey in Jamaica I'm looking forward to that too 😊❤❤.. 1:04:59
Thanks for the tour ❤ I must say those homes are worth a lot more than 250,000 I live in Wilmington North Carolina, "gentrification" is a sad excuse for the weaponized housing. Thankfully we have good memories because our history our community is almost completely erased!!!😢
Lived there in 2000 to 2004. Central Ave to Beaties Ford. Worked at Post Uptown Place on Graham. Used to frequent club Crystal from yuh knw seh mi is a country yute frm St. Elizabeth zeen...Manners & Respect 🇯🇲
Girlllll why we used to jump on the back of the train too when I was in junior high walking home Smhlol. We really had no fear as kids everything was fun 😂. Now I won’t even let my car sit on a train track at a stoplight 😂😂😂
Hi are you a realtor? I could not find Greenville in NC.. only a town on SC. I enjoyed the historical tour especially narrative from a native home town. I would like to meet on my trip to view homes🙏 thanks
Can anyone recommend a safe suburb to check out in Charlotte. Live in NY Burbs and Im retiring in 2025 thinking about relocating but I want a safe suburb that’s not to far from the city and things to do. Thank you!
I tried living in Charlotte in the “90’s” was so racist! It has definitely changed, especially downtown. I would use that US bank there. Nothing stays the same, that’s for sure!
My city. Born and raised here. Early 80's baby! I miss the Charlotte where the neighborhoods were how they were now gone,how downtown was,which was always something on any block,with neighborhood Earl Village and others were in downtown. The great restaurants like McDonald's Cafeteria,Simmons,Holly farms and alot more. Charlotte was Charlotte. But yeah. Gentrified the whole city.. A hundred and something people move here a day now. Those few underpasses back in the 80's and 90's and areas really wasn't walked through in them days unless you were looking for trouble/cold cases. Charlotte had alot of those rough areas in them 80's and 90's areas
The intro song is lowkey a bop 👌🏾🎧

Awesome video Bonnicks Fam! I would love to hear your story of choosing CLT vs ATL.
"Candy lady" took me back. I remember having one near my elementary school. Snacks and frozen cups sold there.

Gr8 tour, thx for that. Are all the stadiums named after Banks? They hv the Barclays Stadium in NY.
Had an opportunity to move there in the early 90’s, but I just couldn’t let go off NYC.🤗
Tonya yes I remember Kodak one my favorite old shows lol
Katana you are a excellent tour guide well done

Very informative guys
Beautiful place
What you can get without the esthetics! Love you both ❤ I'm a newbie
Blessings❤️
Great video. I know what you mean about erasing history.
Upfull Bonnicks ❤❤❤
Can anyone recommend a safe suburb to check out in Charlotte. Live in NY Burbs and Im retiring in 2025 thinking about relocating but I want a safe suburb that’s not to far from the city and things to do. Thank you!
Any surrounding area would be safe and not take long to get into the city. Mooresville, Concord, Indian Land or Rock Hill SC etc
It’s Uptown Charlotte, but great video
My dance
England is a better place to buy a house
No property tax on houses. Once you have payed off your house its yours.
Low cost place for rent how could I find a two bedroom
I tried living in Charlotte in the “90’s” was so racist! It has definitely changed, especially downtown. I would use that US bank there.
Nothing stays the same, that’s for sure!
❤❤❤❤

Brave girl
👍🏽👍🏽💯
America is very beautiful.
To Me it seems to be a scary place to live.
It’s called gentrification
Nice video but next time mention the years in everything it would really help us like in 1984 your mom purchased the house...
Can't see no folk
