Charlotte Magazine

From a new kind of working experience to a new kind of life experience.  We hear about the growing trend of co-working spaces as well as the growing trend among younger people opting for pets instead of kids.

Part One: Co-working Spaces

A look at the rise of co-working spaces in Charlotte.

For a long time, many people dreamed of breaking free of the “Cubicle farm” that was their office and work from home but now, a new trend is emerging that’s somewhere in between.  They’re called co-working spaces and in the first part of our show, we find out what makes these places attractive and why they’re popping up all over town. 

Guests
