Stories that caught our eye in the past week:
1. The city of Charlotte is on display this week as city leaders show Democratic Party officials around town. Charlotte is a finalist for the next Democratic Party National Convention.
2. Criminals on death row are more likely to receive such a sentence for killing a white person than a black person says a new study. North Carolina has one of the highest death rows in the country and its racial bias is real.
3. Though it appears to be safe, a former veneer company has been illegally dumping toxic waste products onto the factory site, which the city of Indian Trail has considered for a future recreational park.
4. Food on the go will take on a whole new meaning in the Fort Mill area. The Springs Close Foundation will be distributing food to those in need through its five mobile pantries.
5. Approval for a "Streetcar Starter Kit" narrowly passed City Council vote this week. Some citizens question whether it will best serve the public or those who stand to make a profit.
