I found out today that Charlotte Magazine named crimeincharlotte.com as the '2007 Best of the Best' Local Blog. (Shown in the service category)They didn't get all the facts straight (I don't post every mugshot) but it is still an honor...
Local blog
CrimeInCharlotte.com
When the D.A.’s office dropped the case against the punk who stole her car and then totaled it last year, Kelly was “smoking mad” and started a blog. She posts mug shots of every person booked at the jail, crime-scene photos, police report summaries, and more. Cops support her cause, and they often feed her info. There’s also a handy list of links to all manner of law-enforcement sites.

Congrats! You deserve it. Thanks for your hard work.
CONGRATULATIONS, Kelly! You certainly deserve this honor. Pat yourself on the back! Stand up and take a bow! I am sure this is a lot of hard work for such an extensive and informative blog on something that hits everyone at some time in their life - that nasty word - CRIME!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your work & time put into your blog is greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful day!!!!!
Good for you! I love this page and your blog. It's the best information out there.
thanks for making it so easy
for us to know what's going on and offering the community a
chance to say what's on their minds. I wish our city officials would read it!!!
Thanks
Awesome. Congratulations.
Well deserved. Thank you for providing this platform.
Well done Kelly...and now maybe even more people will visit this site and get involved. You have really contributed to our community.
Good job...unfortunately I wish I did not have to visit this site!
Racism and fear still pay big dividends in the south I see.
Congratulations! This is the ONLY blog I read! Thank you for all of the information! Keep up the great work~
Kelly thanks for all you do for our area. Please keep fighting the good fight. Don't ever give up.

Thank you Kelly! Your blog has filled a void this community sorely needed.
Your efforts deserve much more than just an Award. The Charlotte community owes you a big debt, one that will be had to repay. You are appreciated and many of us in the community visit your blog every day. Keep up the good work...
Good job Kelly.
This is the only place that makes public what is Charlotte's biggest nasty little secret; VIOLENT CRIME.
People who prefer sanitized reporting, i.e., news cleaned up to an impeccable level of Political Correctness, will continue to take issue with this site. That in itself says everything about why government won't confront the problem head-on.
Thank God CiC provides an alternative to the Observer, when it comes to facts on violent crime in Charlotte.
Thanks for this blog, Kelly. I've learned more in here than I ever have from reading newspapers and watching TV news.
Congrats! Even if readers of your blog don't always agree on things we can all agree that you provide a great service to our city. Well deserved kudos to CiC.

Let me guess. Are you another Ivory Tower bank transfer from the northeast? Active in all liberal causes I would guess, and you probably have never set foot inside a Public School. (At least not one that wasn't lily-white.)
The crime statistics don't lie, liars do.
You should run for Mayor.
Hey, not all Northeast transplants are like that. :) But yeah, that
guy is an assclown.
Congratulations on running a fear mongering website with a bigots as the audience. Add DUI's and see the faces then.
Add DUIs? That would only show the people who can actually afford to buy a car, not the ones who have to steal them.
How about welfare fraud? Lets add that and see the faces. Or say , shoplifting. Get real.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it?
Perhaps we should resort to the CMS system for handling violent crime. Their mantra is "if it's not reported to the public, it didn't happen." We all know where their ostrich approach has gotten us in the schools.
If you don't like the facts and faces of violent crime in Charlotte, either do something about the problem or stick to reading the Charlotte Observer.
CinC provides a great service, as evidenced by it's designation as the "Best Local Blog."
4:56, I'm not fearful but like fellow bloggers here I'm frustrated with PROVEN REPEAT OFFENDERS. For the "bigot" insult, I'm learning to accept that will always be some cultures way to say "it's not our fault"!!!!!!!!!!
It's not about being right, it's about being heard.
Just moved up here from sunny Florida and I LOVE this blog. I never need to pick up the Charlotte Observer again. Let all the puhlitiklee curekt a-holes talk all the crap they want. They are just to blind to see the truth. Thank you for a GREAT blog.
