Charlotte sign expert, Christopher Lawing, joins Trent and Patrick on “At Home with Roby”.  Christopher loves signs and the history behind them.  So when working on a thesis project for his high school darkroom photography class, he decided to tell the history of Charlotte in a colorful and unique way.  The first sign that he photographed for his project was the “Jesus Saves” sign located on top of the now demolished Garr Memorial Church in the Wesley Heights community.  From this project, Christopher self-designed and self-published “Charlotte:  The Signs of the Times” in 2017.  His book has since evolved into a physical preservation effort that can be seen on full display in an exhibit at the Charlotte Museum of History titled "Charlotte: Signs of Home".  Christopher curated and designed this exhibit that opened in October 2021 and runs through June 2023.  Tune in the meet Christopher and receive an interesting history lesson on some of Charlotte’s most iconic signs.  To purchase his book and learn more about the exhibit, visit https://www.cltsignsproject.com/.
