Here's the history behind Charlotte Town, FWIW

Nicknamed the "Queen City",[14] like its county a few years earlier, Charlotte was named in honor of German princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who had become the Queen Consort of Great Britain and Ireland in 1761, seven years before the town's incorporation. A second nickname derives from the American Revolutionary War, when British commander General Charles Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis occupied the city but was driven out by hostile residents. He wrote that Charlotte was "a hornet's nest of rebellion", leading to the nickname "The Hornet's Nest".[15]

Within decades of Polk's settling, the area grew to become "Charlotte Town", incorporating in 1768.[16] The crossroads in the Piedmont became the heart of Uptown Charlotte. In 1770, surveyors marked the streets in a grid pattern for future development. The east–west trading path became Trade Street, and the Great Wagon Road became Tryon Street, in honor of William Tryon, a royal governor of colonial North Carolina.[17] The intersection of Trade and Tryon—commonly known today as "Trade & Tryon", or simply "The Square"[13]—is more properly called "Independence Square".[18]
 
Bummed to hear Weston McKennie hurt his shoulder and is out till February.

Adams yet to return from his injury. Weah has been out since a couple games into the season. Youngsters have struggled to stay healthy.
 
Fire look poised to sign Raphael Wicky as head coach, taking him from his current spot at the U-17 coach for the USA

anybody have any opinions about him? looks like U-17 squad had a bad showing this year in Brazil.
 
Maybe quite a bit of posturing amongst all sides, but the Konrad de la Fuente saga is interesting. I think a Germany move would suit him in order to get him meaningful first team minutes.
 
Anthony Hudson named the U20 coach. Great pedigree but some awful stints. US Soccer gonna US Soccer.
 
Olympic qualifying groups announced. US gets Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Honduras, El Salvador, Canada, and Haiti are in the other group. Top two teams from each group advance to knockout stage semis. The two teams in the finals go to the Olympics.
 
Antonee Robinson in Milan for a move to AC. Monster move if he gets some run.
 
Solid showing from the boys, particularly the kids, specifically Llanez, Vines and Ferreira. Cannon has been great too, drawing the pen that Llanez stepped up and buried. All against a very veteran CR squad with plenty of CONCACAF and WC experience.

Excited about this potential Olympic team, just don’t fuck it up in March.
 
Bout frigging time. His brother can follow right behind.

 
Wouldn’t mind seeing Timmy Chandler called up to play RM. in March. He can’t stop scoring for Frankfurt
 
No discussion on Gio Reyna? Scored an absolutely worldy last week then wiped a Sancho goal off the board for an off the ball foul over the weekend
