March 4, 2021
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Get out, see the sights, ride ‘Round Town with Rising! Each Tuesday and Thursday we scope out a surprise spot around our city. The latest locale: Ballantyne!
First stop, visit the “Monuments of Ballantyne.” Sure you’ve seen these sculptures, but do you know the backstory? The 30 foot monuments wee commissioned by Charlotte developer Johnny Harris and created by Yugoslavian artist Boris Tomic, who spent the better part of three years crafting them in a brick factory in Salisbury, NC.
