Tradin' & Tryin'

Ol' tnt: dirty deeds, done dirt cheap. Growing up, the joke used to be: "I saw your mama workin' the corner of trade and tryon last night". Trade and Tryon are the two major streets in downtown Charlotte. The city's since cleaned up its act and moved prostitution to church parking lots and suburban homes where it belongs. There are also these crazy bronze sculptures on each corner of the intersection celebrating great human feats. The sculptures are inspiring, yet kinda humorous. My favorite has always been the guy bent over backwards.
