On Wednesdays, Crossroads Charlotte Correspondent Meaghan Clark will give you a round-up of community-building news and events:
1. Stranded? Far from home? Need help? A British boys' soccer team who couldn't get home because of Iceland's erupting volcano learned the true meaning of Southern hospitality.
2. Students from schools in Union County participated in a national Day of Silence, to protest abuse and harrassment suffered by gay, lesbian and transgender students.
3. Summer jobs are going to be hard to find this summer, especially for African-Americans. The jobless rate for black teens is at an astonishing high rate, making competition fierce.
4. Keeping the airlines safer means giving up a little privacy going forward at Charlotte Douglas Airport. New body scanners will begin screening travelers beginning this week.
5. A landmark on Charlotte's east side will close its doors for good this summer. Eastland Mall has told its tenants to vacate by the end of June, as it moves into foreclosure.
