In case you're dying to ask questions of Pat McCrory, Beverly Earle or any other candidates -- or form judgments if they don't show -- Homeless Helping Homeless is hosting a forum for mayoral and at-large city council candidates Wednesday. It's scheduled for 6 p.m. at St. Peters Episcopal Church, 115 W. 7th Street.

Also, several east Charlotte neighborhood associations are sponsoring a forum Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Amity Presbyterian Church, 2831 N. Sharon Amity Rd. This forum's organizers say all the candidates are scheduled to attend.
