Does Charlotte have a soul? One native spent years looking.

Robert FitzPatrick has spent over five decades in Charlotte, but after all that time, he didn&#x27;t know how to describe the city&#x27;s <a class="gtmContentClick" data-vars-link-text="soul" data-vars-click-url="https://www.axios.com/local/charlotte/2025/12/05/young-adults-likely-leave-city-moving-thinking-charlotte-north-carolina-identity" data-vars-content-id="829d077c-afe7-483a-93c6-a1461c76cc35" data-vars-headline="A Charlotte native spent three years searching for the city&#x27;s soul — and wrote a book about it" data-vars-event-category="story" data-vars-sub-category="story" data-vars-item="in_content_link" href="https://www.axios.com/local/charlotte/2025/12/05/young-adults-likely-leave-city-moving-thinking-charlotte-north-carolina-identity" target="_self">soul</a>.<ul><li>So, he dedicated three years to searching for it.</li></ul>Why it matters: Charlotte&#x27;s debatable lack of culture, identity, character (or whatever else you want to call it) is a persistent pain point for the city. People either want to gripe about it, deny it or not talk about it at all.
