9. They were in abundance. I parked beside a TV crew vehicle

and walked 3 blocks to take the pictures. Some people were leaving as some speakers had concluded. But neither side wanted to leave (though the union side was larger).

5. Go NC peeps!

Should have had something like this in Charlotte - I would have been on Tryon Street with bells on.

The focus point could be the Bank of America building.

You might want to check to see if there is a chapter in Charlotte.
