I reverted the NoDa info on Russell Pound because it is true, and I have not re-included the information that the neighborhood is more widely and officially known as North Charlotte on Rand McNally maps, and other maps. Extensive interviews with the natives of North Charlotte were conducted by me over a 10 year period beginning in 1991. The residents wanted North Charlotte to be called North Charlotte and the business district to be called NoDa.

Many artists don't like saying "I am an artist" but having mentioned that, I am an artist, and I was there when NoDa was created, I met Russell Pound, and I know the artist who was standing there when Mr. Pound first said the word to someone else. I know all the artists who had galleries there from 1001 to 2000, and I am correct in this. Some people have political and personal biases against gentrification and hype, and I am inclined to sympathise with them.
