🌐 You can add one race to the world tour calendar (promoting an existing race or inventing a new one). What do you do?
for everyone that asked me this question i thank you and i will be answering it all at once here because i put WAY too much thought into this. way too much.
Tour Of Britain But It's (Hopefully) Less Shit
Stage 1A: Richmond Park 10km 50m elev.
we open with a 10k lap of Richmond Park -- it's the cycling hotspot of the capital, time trials are a big part of the UK domestic scene, and i like a prologue TT. and it would really piss off london cyclists when whoever wins sets a record time around the park, taking with them the leaders jersey for the first proper road stage later the same day:
Stage 1B: London -> Brighton, 150km 1,000m elev.
a meandering journey to the seaside taking in the Olympics-famous Box Hill and joining the classic London to Brighton route, the first stage winner will likely need to bide their time and hope an attack on Ditchling Beacon gets them enough of a gap to take them to the finish line.
Stage 2: Oxford -> Cambridge, 190km 700m elev.
between the two ancient university towns lies the flat and beautiful Bedfordshire. the peloton will start among the dreaming spires and the sprinters will tough it out on King's Parade, a stone's throw from the apple tree newton supposedly sat under while working on gravitation!
Stage 3: Telford -> Stoke-on-Trent, 220km 1,500m elev.
we loop into Wales for a long but relatively gentle start to the hills... the Clwydian Range might not be the Pyrenees but there are plenty significant climbs in there that indicate today is likely one for the breakaway -- or an audacious solo -- and the notorious welsh weather could lead to all sorts of surprises
Stage 4: Manchester -> Leeds, 160km, 1,800m elev.
heading first south from Manchester into the Peak District and finishing with a city circuit in Leeds, this should be another chance for a breakaway ahead of tomorrow...
Stage 5, the Queen Stage: York -> Hardknott Pass, 280km, 3,500m (!) elev.
i woke up and chose violence. giro mountain stages eat your heart out, it's time for GC action in the North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, and the Lake District with a summit finish on Hardknott Pass (the steepest road in england, maxing out at an eye-popping 30%). Rosedale Chimney, Buttertubs Pass, and the aptly named Struggle are the key climbs before Hardknott, and the helicopter shots will be superb as the race passes through some of the UK's most beautiful landscapes, finishing within sight of Scafell Pike.
Stage 6: Carlisle -> Glasgow, 180km, 850m elevation.
a border-crossing run into two laps of the iconic 2023 city circuit, this punchy stage will likely favour whichever classics specialist can recover the best from yesterday's efforts
Stage 7: Edinburgh -> Newcastle, 195km, 1,000m elev.
starting in scotland's capital, today is the final opportunity for any GC changes, mostly rolling terrain but enough to make a difference if it's only a few seconds
Stage 8: Peterborough -> Great Yarmouth, 180km 300m elev.
and so the Tour of Britain But It's (Hopefully) Less Shit concludes with a sprint along Great Yarmouth's seafront Golden Mile, bringing to an end a hopefully exciting one-week race in this country that does actually have decent cycling, contrary to what the actual TOB might lead you to believe
#if you read all of this i love you <3#i've ridden the struggle and it really fucked me up but ditchling beacon is actually so fun#some transfers here are eeeeh but they're nothing compared to the tour like the longest is 4 hours between finish of stage 7 and start of 8#i also wanted to include another mountain stage in wales and a lap of the Isle of Wight but i also wanted to stick to 8 stages#and take in scotland too#ask game#cycling#also we'd bring back the milk sponsorship from the Milk Race days so the leader's jersey would be yellow & green sponsored by Arla#and KOM would be cow print rather than polka dot#and sprinter's jersey would be red

Saving Women's Sports also means learning about women athletes
ROSEDALE, Miss. —
Mildrette Netter, Mississippi's first woman Olympic medalist, was the catalyst for change in women's track in the state.
"I wanted to go and experience a better life," Netter said.
Netter grew up in Rosedale, Mississippi.
"Two things I was at a disadvantage for was being from Mississippi and being short," she said.
This was the reason given by the coach at Tennessee State when he declined to give her a scholarship in 1967.
"There were no women's track programs in the state of Mississippi at all," Netter said.
She thought her career was over until Alcorn State University head track coach Grant Dungee reached out to her.
"She was the only girl," Dungee said. "Some of the guys she could beat."
Netter competed in out-of-state meets, shocking the competition as the short girl from Mississippi exploded onto the scene and into the 1968 Olympic 4 by 100-meter team.
"It made me eager and hungry," Netter said.
Her personal struggle was set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., just months before her Olympic debut.
Netter's husband, Alcorn teammate and Vietnam vet Willie, experienced the struggle firsthand.
"He had so much spirit, it put chills through you. That night that he was assassinated, we were at Alcorn college. Something happened there on base, they came on base, we got beat up on base on campus that night," Willie said.
"That was a very turmoil time in our country," Netter said.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos protested through their raised fist on the podium.
"Everyone protests in their own way," she added.
The lesser-known story of American social justice from the 1968 Olympics was Netter's effect on the state of Mississippi.
"They can see me, then hey, maybe they can be me," she said.
The Magnolia State was watching, and after seeing Netter help Team USA set a new world record in the 4 by 100 meters, it started to change.
"The next year, that's when they formed the team," Netter said.
Alcorn was one of the first, and other schools followed. No longer did Mississippi women have to go out of state to pursue their track and field dreams.
Netter wasn't the first woman to play sports in Mississippi, but she very well may have been the most important.

A first brief introduction.
For those of you wondering what this is all about. This is a sideblog to @wonda-ch
David, Lia, and Justin in particular may be familiar to some readers of my fanfictions from other fandoms. That's because I've always tossed my four favorite OCs into any universe that has appealed to me.
But they have a universe of their own. And that's what I'm going to gradually introduce to you.
FHW - Fighter Hearts Wrestling - is an upcoming wrestling company (without gender boundaries) trying to prove themselves in the industry.
Lia Kingsley and Luke Reglan founded the company and bring with them experience, star popularity and business acumen. They run the business with care and consideration. It is their desire to create a strong community among their employees, which is not always easy.
In addition to several wrestlers, announcers, technicians and others, David Kingsley and Justin Rosedale are also an integral part of the company.
Wrestling is the main business for these people and of course it has a huge impact on their lives. However, it is less about wins and championships and more about relationships, personal issues, old traumas, new problems and opportunities.
Wrapped up in a world of spotlights, cheers, sweat and worn-out joints.

‘Race Neutral’ Is the New ‘Separate but Equal’
From The Atlantic: On the first day of class in the fall of 1924, Martha Lum walked into the Rosedale Consolidated School. The mission-style building had been built three years earlier for white students in Rosedale, Mississippi.
Martha was not a new student. This 9-year-old had attended the public school the previous year. But that was before Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924, banning immigrants from Asia and inciting ever more anti-Asian racism inside the United States.
At the time, African Americans were fleeing the virulent racism of the Mississippi Delta in the Great Migration north and west. To replace them, white landowners were recruiting Chinese immigrants like Martha’s father, Gong Lum. But instead of picking cotton, many Chinese immigrants, like Gong and his wife, Katherine, opened up grocery stores, usually in Black neighborhoods, after being shut out of white neighborhoods.
At noon recess, Martha had a visitor. The school superintendent notified her that she had to leave the public school her family’s tax dollars supported, because “she was of Chinese descent, and not a member of the white or Caucasian race.” Martha was told she had to go to the district’s all-Black public school, which had older infrastructure and textbooks, comparatively overcrowded classrooms, and lower-paid teachers.
Gong Lum sued, appealing to the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal-protection clause. The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. All nine justices ruled in favor of school segregation, citing the “separate but equal” doctrine from 1896’s Plessy v. Ferguson decision.
“A child of Chinese blood, born in and a citizen of the United States, is not denied the equal protection of the law by being classed by the state among the colored races who are assigned to public schools separate from those provided for the whites when equal facilities for education are afforded to both classes,” the Court summarized in Gong Lum v. Rice on November 21, 1927.
A century from now, scholars of racism will look back at today’s Supreme Court decision on affirmative action the way we now look back at Gong Lum v. Rice—as a judicial decision based in legal fantasy. Then, the fantasy was that separate facilities for education afforded to the races were equal and that actions to desegregate them were unnecessary, if not harmful. Today, the fantasy is that regular college-admissions metrics are race-neutral and that affirmative action is unnecessary, if not harmful.
The Supreme Court has effectively outlawed affirmative action using two court cases brought on by Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Organized by a legal strategist named Edward Blum, SFFA filed suit on behalf of Asian American applicants to Harvard as well as white and Asian applicants to UNC to claim that their equal-protection rights were violated by affirmative action. Asian and white Americans are overrepresented in the student body at selective private and public colleges and universities that are well funded and have high graduation rates, but they are the victims?This is indicative of a larger fantasy percolating throughout society: that white Americans, who, on average, stand at the more advantageous end of nearly every racial inequity, are the primary victims of racism. This fantasy is fueling the grievance campaigns of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Americans who oppose affirmative action have been misled into believing that the regular admissions metrics are fair for everyone—and that affirmative action is unfair for white and Asian American applicants.
It is a fantasy that race is considered as an admissions factor only through affirmative action. But the Court endorsed SFFA’s call for “race neutral” admissions in higher education—effectively prohibiting a minor admissions metric such as affirmative action, which closes racial inequities in college admissions, while effectively permitting the major admissions metrics that have long led to racial inequities in college admissions. Against all evidence to the contrary, the Court claimed: “Race-neutral policies may thus achieve the same benefits of racial harmony and equality without … affirmative action policies.” The result of the Court’s decision: a normality of racial inequity. Again.
This is what the Court considers to be fair admissions for students, because the judges consider the major admissions metrics to be “race-neutral”—just as a century ago, the Court considered Mississippi public schools to be “separate but equal.”
Chief Justice John Roberts, in his majority opinion, recognized “the inherent folly of that approach” but doesn’t recognize the inherent folly of his “race neutral” approach.
History repeats sometimes without rhyming. “Race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.” The Court today claimed, “Twenty years have passed since Grutter, with no end to race- based college admissions in sight.” In actuality, twenty years have passed, with no end to racial inequity in sight.
Black, Latino, and Indigenous students continue to be underrepresented at the top 100 selective public universities. After affirmative action was outlawed at public universities in California and Michigan in the 1990s, Black enrollment at the most selective schools dropped roughly 50 percent, in some years approaching early-1970s numbers. This lack of diversity harms both students of color and white students.
In its reply brief in the UNC case, SFFA argued that the University of California system enrolls “more underrepresented minorities today than they did under racial preferences,” referencing the increase of Latino students at UC campuses from 1997 to 2019. But accounting for the increase in Latino students graduating from high school, those gains should be even larger. There’s a 23-point difference between the percentage of high-school graduates in California who are Latino and the percentage of those enrolled in the UC system.
Declines in racial representation and associated harms extend to graduate and professional programs. The UC system produced more Black and Latino medical doctors than the national average in the two decades before affirmative action was banned, and dropped well below the national average in the two decades after.
Underrepresentation of Black, Latino, and Indigenous students at the most coveted universities isn’t a new phenomenon, it isn’t a coincidence, and it isn’t because there is something deficient about those students or their parents or their cultures. Admissions metrics both historically and currently value qualities that say more about access to inherited resources and wealth— computers and counselors, coaches and tutors, college preparatory courses and test prep—than they do about students’ potential. And gaping racial inequities persist in access to each of those elements—as gaping as funding for those so-called equal schools in the segregated Mississippi Delta a century ago.
So what about class? Class-based or income-based interventions disproportionately help white students too, because their family’s low income is least likely to extend to their community and schools. Which is to say that low-income white Americans are far and away less likely than low-income Black and Latino Americans to live in densely impoverished neighborhoods and send their kids to poorly resourced public schools. Researchers find that 80 percent of low-income Black people and 75 percent of low-income Latino people reside in low-income communities, which tend to have lesser-resourced schools, compared with less than 50 percent of low-income white people. (Some Asian American ethnic groups are likely to be concentrated in low-income communities, while others are not; the data are not dis-aggregated to explore this.) Predominately white school districts, on average, receive $23 billion more than those serving the same number of students of color.
When admissions metrics value SAT, ACT, or other standardized-test scores, they predict not success in college or graduate school, but the wealth or income of the parents of the test takers. This affects applicants along racial lines, but in complex ways. Asian Americans, for example, have higher incomes than African Americans on average, but Asian Americans as a group have the highest income inequality of any racial group. So standardized tests advantage more affluent white Americans and Asian ethnic groups such as Chinese and Indian Americans while disadvantaging Black Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans, and poorer Asian ethnic groups such as Burmese and Hmong Americans. But standardized tests, like these other admissions metrics, are “race neutral”?
Standardized tests mostly favor students with access to score-boosting test prep. A multibillion-dollar test-prep and tutoring industry was built on this widespread understanding. Companies that openly sell their ability to boost students’ scores are concentrated in immigrant and Asian American communities. But some Asian American ethnic groups, having lower incomes, have less access to high-priced test-prep courses.
Besides all of this, the tests themselves have racist origins. Eugenicists introduced standardized tests a century ago in the United States to prove the genetic intellectual superiority of wealthy white Anglo-Saxon men. These “experimental” tests would show “enormously significant racial differences in general intelligence, differences which cannot be wiped out by any scheme of mental culture,” the Stanford University psychologist and eugenicist Lewis Terman wrote in his 1916 book, The Measurement of Intelligence. Another eugenicist, the Princeton University psychologist Carl C. Brigham, created the SAT test in 1926. SAT originally stood for “Scholastic Aptitude Test,” aptitude meaning “natural ability to do something.”
Why are advocates spending millions to expand access to test prep when a more effective and just move is to ban the use of standardized tests in admissions? Such a ban would help not only Black, Native, and Latino students but also low-income white and Asian American students.
Some selective colleges that went test-optional during the pandemic welcomed some of their most racially and economically diverse classes, after receiving more applications than normal from students of color. For many students of color, standardized tests have been a barrier to applying, even before being a barrier to acceptance. Then again, even where colleges and universities, especially post-pandemic, have gone test-optional, we can reasonably assume or suspect that students who submit their scores are viewed more favorably.
When admissions committees at selective institutions value students whose parents and grandparents attended that institution, this legacy metric ends up giving preferential treatment to white applicants. Almost 70 percent of all legacy applicants for the classes of 2014–19 at Harvard were white.
College athletes are mostly white and wealthy—because most collegiate sports require resources to play at a high level. White college athletes make up 70 to 85 percent of athletes in most non-revenue-generating sports (with the only revenue-generating sports usually being men’s basketball and football). And student athletes, even ones who are not gaming the system, receive immense advantages in the admissions process, thus giving white applicants yet another metric by which they are the most likely to receive preferential treatment. Even Harvard explained as part of its defense that athletes had an advantage in admissions over nonathletes, which conferred a much greater advantage to white students over Asian American students than any supposed disadvantage that affirmative action might create. And white students benefit from their relatives being more likely to have the wealth to make major donations to highly selective institutions. And white students benefit from their parents being over-represented on the faculty and staff at colleges and universities. Relatives of donors and children of college employees normally receive an admissions boost.
Putting this all together, one study found that 43 percent of white students admitted to Harvard were recruited athletes, legacy students, the children of faculty and staff, or on the dean’s interest list (as relatives of donors)—compared with only 16 percent of Black, Latino, and Asian American students. About 75 percent of white admitted students “would have been rejected” if they hadn’t been in those four categories, the study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found.
While private and public universities tout “diversity” recruitment efforts, their standard recruitment strategies concentrate on high-income students who are predominantly white and Asian, at highly resourced schools, positioned to have higher grade point averages and test scores that raise college rankings. Public colleges and universities facing declines in state and federal funding actively recruit white and wealthy out-of-state students who pay higher fees. At many institutions, including a UC campus, “admission by exception,” a practice originally promoted as a means of expanding opportunities for disadvantaged groups, has been used to enroll international students with the resources to pay U.S. tuition fees.
Targeting international students of color to achieve greater diversity on campus disadvantages American students of color. Targeting students from families who can pay exorbitant out-of-state fees benefits white families, who have, on average, 10 times the household net worth of Black families.
Affirmative action attempted to compensate not just for these metrics that give preferential treatment to white students, but also for the legacy of racism in society. This legacy is so deep and wide that affirmative action has rightly been criticized as a superficial, Band-Aid solution. Still, it has been the only admissions policy that pushes against the deep advantages that white Americans receive in the other admissions metrics under the cover of “race neutral.
If anti-affirmative-action litigants and judges were really supportive of “race neutrality”—if they were really against “racial preferences”—then they would be going after regular admissions practices. But they are not, because the regular admissions metrics benefit white and wealthy students.
Litigants and judges continue to use Asian Americans as political footballs to maintain these racial preferences for white and wealthy students. Particularly in the Harvard case, SFFA’s Edward Blum used Asian plaintiffs to argue that affirmative action harms Asian American applicants. No evidence of such racist discrimination was found in the lower courts. According to an amicus brief filed by 1,241 social scientists, the so-called race-neutral admissions policy SFFA advocated for (which was just adopted by the highest Court) would actually harm Asian American applicants. It denies Asian American students the ability to express their full self in their applications, including experiences with racism, which can contextualize their academic achievements or struggles and counter racist ideas. This is especially the case with Hmong and Cambodian Americans, who have rates of poverty similar to or higher than those of Black Americans. Pacific Islander Americans have a higher rate of poverty than the average American.
Pitting Asian and Black Americans against each other is an age-old tactic. Martha Lum’s parents didn’t want to send their daughter to a “colored” school, because they knew that more resources could be found in the segregated white schools. Jim Crow in the Mississippi Delta a century ago motivated the Lums to reinforce anti-Black racism—just as some wealthy Asian American families bought into Blum’s argument for “race neutral” admissions to protect their own status. Yet “separate but equal” closed the school door on the Lums. “Race neutral” is doing the same. Which is why 38 Asian American organizations jointly filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of affirmative action at Harvard and UNC.
A century ago, around the time the Court stated that equal facilities for education were being afforded to both races, Mississippi spent $57.95 per white student compared with $8.86 per Black student in its segregated schools. This racial inequity in funding existed in states across the South: Alabama ($47.28 and $13.32), Florida ($61.29 and $18.58), Georgia ($42.12 and $9.95), North Carolina ($50.26 and $22.34), and South Carolina ($68.76 and $11.27). “Separate but equal” was a legal fantasy, meant to uphold racist efforts to maintain these racial inequities and strike down anti-racist efforts to close them.
Homer Plessy had sued for being kicked off the “whites only” train car in New Orleans in 1892. About four years later, the Court deployed the “separate but equal” doctrine to work around the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal-protection clause to defend the clearly unequal train cars and the exclusion of Black Americans like Plessy from better-equipped “whites only” cars. Later, the Court used the same doctrine to exclude Asian Americans like Martha Lum from better-equipped “whites only” schools.
The “separate but equal” doctrine was the Court’s stamp to defend the structure of racism. Just as Plessy v. Ferguson’s influence reached far beyond the railway industry more than a century ago, the fantasy of “race neutral” alternatives to affirmative action defends racism well beyond higher education. Evoking “race neutrality,” Justice Clarence Thomas recently dissented from the Supreme Court decision upholding a provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that prohibits racist gerrymandering.
Now that “racial neutrality” is the doctrine of the land, as “separate but equal” was a century ago, we need a new legal movement to expose its fantastical nature. It was nearly a century ago that civil-rights activists in the NAACP and other organizations were gearing up for a legal movement to expose the fantasy of “separate but equal.” In this new legal movement, defenders of affirmative action can no longer use the false framing of affirmative action as “race conscious” and the regular admissions metrics as “race neutral”—a framing that has been used at least since the Regents of the University of California v. Bakkedecision in 1978, which limited the use of affirmative action. Racist and anti-racist is a more accurate framing than “race neutral” and “race conscious.”
Affirmative-action policies are anti-racist because they have been proved to reduce racial inequities, while many of the regular admissions metrics are racist because they maintain racial inequities. To frame policies as “race neutral” or “not racist” or “race blind” because they don’t have racial language—or because the policy makers deny a racist intent—is akin to framing Jim Crow’s grandfather clauses and poll taxes and literacy tests as “race neutral” and “not racist,” even as these policies systematically disenfranchised southern Black voters. Then again, the Supreme Court allowed these Jim Crow policies for decades on the basis that they were, to use today’s term, “race neutral.” Then again, voter-suppression policies today that target Black, Latino, and Indigenous voters have been allowed by a Supreme Court that deems them “race neutral.” Jim Crow lives in the guise of “racial neutrality.”
Everyone should know that the regular admission metrics are the racial problem, not affirmative action. Everyone knew that racial separation in New Orleans and later Rosedale, Mississippi, was not merely separation; it was segregation. And segregation, by definition, cannot be equal. Segregationist policies are racist policies. Racial inequities proved that then.
The Court stated in today’s ruling, “By 1950, the inevitable truth of the Fourteenth Amendment had thus begun to reemerge: Separate cannot be equal.” But it still does not want to acknowledge another inevitable truth of the Fourteenth Amendment that has emerged today: Race cannot be neutral.
Today, racial inequities prove that policies proclaimed to be “race neutral” are hardly neutral. Race, by definition, has never been neutral. In a multiracial United States with widespread racial inequities in wealth, health, and higher education, policies are not “race neutral.” Policies either expand or close existing racial inequities in college admissions and employment. The “race neutral” doctrine is upholding racist efforts to maintain racial inequities and striking down anti-racist efforts to close racial inequities.
Race, by definition, has never been blind. Even Justice John Harlan, who proclaimed, “Our Constitution is color-blind” in his dissent of Plessy v. Ferguson, prefaced that with this declaration: “The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country” and “it will continue to be for all time, if it remains true to its great heritage.”
In the actual world, the “color-blind” often see their color as superior, as Harlan did. In the actual world, an equal-protection clause in a constitution can be transfigured by legal fantasy yet again to protect racial inequity.
“Separate but equal” then. “Race neutral” now.

Pastor Fred Shuttlesworth (March 18, 1922 - October 5, 2011) was born in Mount Meigs, Alabama to Vetta Green and Alberta Robinson. His mother and stepfather, William Nathan Shuttlesworth, a farmer in Oxmore, Alabama raised him. He graduated from Rosedale High School and he married a nurse Ruby Keeler (1940). In 1943 he became a truck driver and studied mechanics in Mobile. He attended seminary at Cedar Grove Academy. In 1945, he delivered his first sermon. He pursued an AB at Selma University and Alabama State College. In 1950, he became pastor of First Baptist Church in Selma, and in 1953, he returned to Birmingham as pastor of Bethel Baptist Church.
He became a leading civil rights figure, challenging segregation in the school system and Jim Crow policies in public accommodations. He formed the civil rights organization Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. He became a participant in the Montgomery Improvement Association’s Montgomery Bus Boycott. His role in the boycott angered members of the Ku Klux Klan who dynamited his house.
He continued to civil rights crusade. In 1957 police brutally beat and hospitalized him for attempting to enroll his daughter in an all-white school. He continued as a leader in the Black freedom struggle by co-founding the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bayard Rustin. He joined younger activists in sit-ins to desegregated lunch counters and he assisted the Congress of Racial Equality in organizing freedom rides throughout the South.
In 1963 he participated in a civil rights campaign in that city’s Kelley Ingram Park. Sheriff Eugene “Bull” Conner ordered the fire department to turn water cannons on him and the other protesters. The reverend was injured and hospitalized.
He become the pastor of Great New Light Baptist Church in Cincinnati. He continued his activism by founding in 1988 the Shuttlesworth Housing Foundation, an organization that assisted low-income families in purchasing homes. Birmingham’s International Airport was renamed in his honor as the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

What The Map Revealed
From 2005 until 2010 and with the help and support of Sander/Moses Productions, I promoted the CBS TV Series "Ghost Whisperer" quite extensively through my website. I had descriptions of episodes, brief character bios, brief bios of the stars, information on music used in episodes, a forum, a chat room, a guestbook and a hit counter with map showing where people would hit my website from. One particular evening after a particularly chilling episode, I decided to go into my office to check the hit counter. One hit came from Los Angeles, California. I excitedly thought that someone from Universal at Sander/Moses must have checked out my website. As I zoomed in on the location, I noticed that the location of the hit came from south of Universal Studios. I zoomed in again and noticed that the location was just a little bit north of I-10. I zoomed in closer and was puzzled as all the streets gave way to what looked like an open field. "What's going on here", I asked myself? Puzzled, yet pleased by the mystery before me, I pulled up Google Earth and matched it with what I had visible on my Map. I found the field and zoomed in closer. As I did and got a good look at the location of the page hit, I got chills from head to toe! It reminded me of an old episode of the Twilight Zone.
Rosedale Cemetery to be exact. I checked the time in which the page was hit. 8:30PM. Three and a half hours after the gates closed and when Los Angeles was in full dark. #NightCall, #Computer, #Ghost, #Paranormal, #GhostWhisperer, #Hollywood, #California, #Personal, #Journal, #Website, #TwilightZone

Top 5 Most Livable Neighborhoods in Charlotte NC
There's a lot that goes into deciding where to live. If you're like me, you want to get the most out of your money and your living space. Finding the perfect neighborhood is key to this! That's where I come in. There are many neighborhoods in Charlotte, NC. I've researched them with an eye for detail and narrowed down the top 5 most livable neighborhoods around town. In this blog, you'll learn about:
Noda
Noda is one of the most up-and-coming neighborhoods in Charlotte, and it's quickly becoming the go-to spot for those looking for a quiet place to live. This neighborhood has all of the charms that you'd expect from a historic neighborhood, with some modern amenities thrown in for good measure. The homes in Noda are beautiful, with wide porches and large yards. It's also conveniently located near several major highways and is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping centers, and more.
Charlotte
Charlotte is a city in North Carolina, United States. It is the county seat of Mecklenburg County and the second-largest city in the state. In 2016, the estimated population of Charlotte according to the U.S. Census Bureau was 819,034, making it the 17th largest city in the United States based on population alone. The Charlotte metropolitan area ranks 22nd largest in the US and had a 2016 population of 2,474,314. The Charlotte metropolitan area is part of a sixteen-county market region or combined statistical area with a 2016 U.S. Census population estimate of 2,632,249 (the Charlotte–Concord–Gastonia Metropolitan Statistical Area), making it the 24th largest CSA metropolitan area in the United States.
Dilworth
Dilworth is another popular neighborhood in Charlotte that offers residents high-end living at affordable prices. Homes here sell for about $350 per square foot on average, which is well below the national average of $500 per square foot for similar homes in other cities across the country. This neighborhood offers residents plenty of parks and green spaces along with lots of shopping options within walking distance from their homes.
Ballantyne Village
Ballantyne Village is an upscale master-planned community located in south Charlotte. This area offers everything from gorgeous homes to luxury shopping centers. It's also home to Ballantyne Commons Park, which features tennis courts, basketball courts and other outdoor recreational activities. If you're looking for a place where your family can enjoy a wide variety of fun activities, Ballantyne Village should be at the top of your list.
Myers Park
Myers Park is one of Charlotte's most affluent neighborhoods, with homes that sell for an average $1 million or more. It's also one of the most historic areas in the city, as it was established in 1915 by George Stephens and designed by landscape architect Nathanial Lowrey II. This neighborhood is filled with beautiful houses and tree-lined streets, which makes it a great place for families who want to live in an upscale community that still feels like home.
Takeaway: Though it was hard to choose, Rosedale came away as the best neighborhood in Charlotte, NC. This is largely due to its close proximity to Uptown and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The neighborhood features all of the best aspects of Charlotte's living – beautiful backdrops and city views, close access to all areas of the city, plenty of great schools, and a bustling nightlife scene.
