RedPubPod #048: “I have a good memory…”
Episode 10
Friday, 14 November, 2025
“I have a good memory…” And Earl’s not kidding. Charlotte native and lifelong fan Earl Gulledge joins Richard and Patty to explore the mid-century Queen City—when neon signs brightened the streets, the skyline was still taking shape, and “hauling around town” was a way of life. Part memoir, part history, and part urban love letter, Charlotte: Haulin' Around Town Streetside captures the city’s transformation from streetcars to skyscrapers. Earl, a retired architect (and proud octogenarian with a sharper memory than both hosts combined), dives into how Charlotte grew—and what got lost along the way. This episode isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a thoughtful examination of a city's soul, what we choose to preserve, and what we pave over. As Richard says, “You watched Charlotte grow up!” And Earl did—firsthand. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and listen to a true primary source share stories that built the Queen City. Check out Earl’s book here, packed with rare, never-before-seen photos that make Charlotte history come alive.
