Editorial

How this guide is made.

Sources, verification, update cadence, and what we will not publish.

Sources

Neighborhood geography and street data are derived from public mapping data and verified against city and county records. Historical material draws on published local histories and archival reporting. Business listings are compiled from public mapping data and operator websites. School information originates with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.

Distances on street and dining pages are calculated from mapped coordinates and are estimates, not routing instructions. Restaurant status, hours and school assignments should be checked with the operator or responsible authority before a decision.

What we do not publish

We do not publish individual property listings, individual sale prices tied to identifiable addresses, valuations of specific homes, or testimonials and statistics we cannot substantiate. We do not present school assignments as guarantees.

Corrections

Businesses close, boundaries move, and assignments change. Where a page states something time-sensitive, it says so. Corrections are welcome and are applied to the live page rather than annotated at the bottom of it.

Independence

This guide is not affiliated with any homeowners association, mall, brokerage of record, school district or governmental body. Commercial relationships are disclosed on the Our Network page and in the site-wide advertising disclosure.
