Kings Mountain. About a 40 minute drive from Uptown. I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty psyched about this if it comes to fruition.

So, what's in Kings Mountain that would attract such a place?

And why a film studio when most of the film industry left NC when McCrory took away the tax incentives?

Location. It's gonna be right off exit 5 on i85. Kings Mountain leaders have been pushing hard for this for a few years now. And supposedly KM is getting a new power company that is gonna be just on the other side of 85 from the casino. And they have already started the grading for it. 

I live about 2 miles off exit 5. I'm gonna get to see this take place every day.  It's amazing the house across the street from proposed casino site went up for sale a few months ago wonder what they asking for it?

It's an in house deal that supposedly builds back the incentives. From what i understand the budget shortfall was so vast they had to cut the tax credits. I personally like the tax incentives as a loss leader to have that industry here. Hopefully it blows back up.

I used to deal black jack down in Riverside. I hate legalized gambling.

A new giant casino project is being built in the city next to my hometown up in Massachusetts, it was a crime ridden dump before, now it will be a bigger crime ridden dump with lots of neon advertising it.

The one in Cherokee is not so bad.  At least from what I have heard.

and here I was thinking that stretch of 74 between 85 and the end of Shelby couldn't get any worse...

I believe the film studio would be on the grounds of the Catawba Reservation in Rock Hill, SC.
