| - What with all the hubbub about this 9/11 thing, you would think that there would be no airport overlooks left, but sure enough, Charlotte has one, and it's a beaut. Lucky for us, it is way around the back side of the airport - perhaps the overlook itself has been overlooked, you might say, or chance are this baby would have been shut down.
You might even wonder why in the world it doesn't shut down after dark, because you have to drive down a somewhat darkened road, then another very dark and curvy road, to a gate that is not lit at all. Talk about your perfect place for parking, and who knows what else. But, no, this overlook is indeed open until well past dark (until 10:30pm if memory serves).
Unfortunately, dark is only good for those out doing things that they probably shouldn't - like watching planes take off and land in the dark. It's much better during the day, when you can actually see what is going on in the car next to you.
Also well-stocked in tables and benches and whatnot. We even saw a native-american type woman sing a song of some sort one day in her appreciation to the flying creatures before her. At least, that's what I tell myself. It may have been something much more sinister, but I like to think happy thoughts.
