THE CHARLOTTE CONNECTION: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

All those Carolina Panthers caps and T-shirts you're seeing? They're not just caps and T-shirts. They're geographical pledges of allegiance - to Charlotte.

We'd like to know: Come next season, which NFL team will you rooting for - the Redskins, The Panthers, some other team? Of Charlotte and Washington, D.C., which one do you think Western Virginia has more in common with in terms of business or economic connections? What about your personal connections?

Call infoline and let us know. In the Roanoke Valley, dial 981-0100. In the New River Valley, dial 382-0200. Then press CATS (or 2287). We'll let you know the results in a couple of weeks.
