July 18, 2016
By now you know that Pokemon Go is the HOTTEST game of the summer. We have gathered the 5 hottest spots to snag Pokemon in Charlotte. Here is how we picked these spots 

  • Safety~Places where you and your kids can move freely and not worry about traffic 
  • Movement~Places where kids can get some exercise also 
  • Reddit~There is a huge thread on Reddit and it is updated all day long with Poke Stops and Gyms 
  • Pokemon Go Clt~Check out this Pokemon Go Google map with stops, gyms and meet ups 

Be safe, as a mom I love Pokemon Go but am also cautious about where I let my kids play for their safety. We have the game on my phone only, we play as a family and if they want to go to a stop or a place where a lure was dropped we all go. Safety in numbers!
