For the last couple of months, I’ve been speaking with tenants who moved into a west Charlotte hotel believing they’d found a way out of homelessness. But none of it turned out the way they had hoped. Check out my investigation in @theobserver: https://t.co/S8IeUu3npx

People were overjoyed when they learned of a housing option. What they got for $975 a month was a bad hotel room they wanted to escape from.

My colleagues and I gasped reading this. I genuinely cannot imagine a newsroom without a single photojournalist on staff. It is inconceivable to me. Saying this is a tremendous loss is a massive understatement.
We’re hearing Post has laid off all its photojournalists.

Close your eyes and imagine you’re back in the bedroom where you found your favorite band. Lying in bed with your Discman or iPod on its last sliver of battery. Yellowcard and Good Charlotte will take you there. 01/16/26

The man accused of stabbing another man on a Charlotte light rail train Friday had been previously charged with having a knife on light rail property, raising more questions about how the city is ensuring its train system is safe. ✍️: @jeffchamer 🔗: https://t.co/buodiM4zdc

Hi Commander Bovino. Any chance you’d be open to an interview with me to expand on this a bit more? Can make myself available at any time that works for you! Thanks!
@Joshpberg Josh, just setting some facts straight and helping educate elected representatives who fail to see the difference in those who did it the right way ( immigrants) and those who broke our nation's laws ( illegal aliens).

And if you didn’t see it, be sure to also read this piece by @juliamcoin about how Rowan County Sheriff Travis Allen’s handled a sexual misconduct complaint by a former deputy. His advice? That the deputy put on her “big girl pants” and not be offended. https://t.co/7OMCO9SYtg

Seriously. Ryan spent so much time reporting this story. I (and the rest of our newsroom) watched as he kept striving to make sure it was done as thoroughly as possible. It was a tremendous amount of work on his part, but the result was clearly worth the effort. Please read it

SO much time and care went into this piece by @oehrli detailing allegations of abuse and dysfunction under the leadership of Mecklenburg Sheriff Garry McFadden. Please read it and see what ex-employees told him about their former boss: https://t.co/t81dTKqjHH

“He thinks he’s godlike,” a fired detention officer said of McFadden.

I will continue to cover things going on at the Lamplighter Inn for the next couple of weeks (and probably after it closes), but I’m also always looking for story tips! Housing or public safety, or anything else you’d like to see me dig into! Email in bio. 😁

Yesterday I had a story about some code violations at the hotel, that a records request for others is still pending with the city, and what Code Enforcement can try to do to get the owner to comply. https://t.co/3jZqQwfYyP
