I am not a regular customer of HT - this one or any other - but this one seems to be a bit off from those that I have visited. I think it must be the location, and the fact that it just isn't on a major road of any sort.
Now it isn't that there is…More »
If you have decided that you can no longer handle the Atlantic Farmers Market or Super G for one reason or another - generally the fact that they tend to have some sort of funky odor about them - you might want to take a drive out to Stallings.…More »
Where Jeff reviewed the other activities and excluded the nature center, this review is for the nature center, specifically during one of their "Nature at Night" events (not the UYE, as my inner calendar was off by a week).
First up, let me tell you…More »
As my man Will has already said, the new year has kicked off already with another elite event, this time from the vantage of the top of the Harvest Moon. Looking down on Tryon Street is an awesome view - after picking up some candy goodness from…More »
Pulling into the parking lot in front of the repurposed warehouse, you definitely feel that you may just be on the wrong side of the tracks - and it is only partially because you just crossed over the actual railroad tracks. This is not the nicest…More »
A great opportunity to get into a preview of a new play in town. The staff at Theatre Charlotte was very welcoming, and they had a tasty spread set out for everyone. Those rolls were insane - even though we had just eaten with Melissa and Travis, I…More »
On a normal day, I don't know that I would give Jimmy John's four stars (sorry Jake!). Then again, their service might have been better on a normal day. On this day, however, they were handing out free subs. That's right. FREE SUBS. Though the…More »

If you find yourself walking into A.C. Moore or Michaels, only to walk out again because you were just unable to find that one thing you wanted, try Hobby Lobby. This place is freaking huge, and if it involves crafting or home-making, they probably…More »
Le's rocks. Unfortunately, those rocks end up in the parking lot of the mall. If I were to put much thought into it, calling this abomination a mall is a real stretch of the imagination, because the only thing that makes it a mall is that there is…More »

I have been to the Actor's Theatre for several productions now, and I always forget to review them. From Chaps to the Evil Dead to Rocky Horror, some are packed, some are, well, less than packed, but they never disappoint.
If you should happen by on…More »
Tired of sending that same (and expensive) flower bouquet that just gets thrown out after a few days? How about sending something entirely different - a bouquet of (perhaps even more expensive) fruit instead?
I have to give these guys props, because…More »
These days we only seem to see shows "out" when we get tickets to a preview screening (thanks, Nicole!), and the visit to this theater is no exception. The only downside is that you need to get there earlier than you might if you actually pay for…More »
As you drive along this country road, peppered with signs for Beds and Breafastses (I have no idea how to pluralize that, as you can probably tell), and one farm after another, out pops a Dollar General. Seriously. Not an old general store, but a…More »
Like Brian, it is rare that I eat at Hardee's. And I was really not in the mood for them this night either, but since this particular location has their Mexican offerings as well through the Red Burrito brand, I figured I could try that if I did not…More »
The second leg of our recent Tennessee trip also involved construction, and as such we felt quite at home - it seems that we almost always see the little signs telling us to avoid a particular lane. Someone was smiling here, however, as the…More »
You read that correctly - it is the "Big Rock" "Rock Shelter". No one ever said there were points for creativity.
Mecklenburg county may be severely lacking in a few areas, such as county fairs and historic buildings to name just a couple. There are…More »
Taming Tryon Street (24)It starts in South Carolina, winds through the Queen City and then takes off across North Carolina. Here are some (non-restaurant) stops along the way. |
You Say Downtown We Say Uptown (35)Some cities are so large they have an uptown and a downtown. Charlotte doesn't, but we like to think we are too classy for a downtown. So uptown it is. |
The QC Theater List (15)Where to catch a movie or a show in and around the Charlotte area. |
Indubitably Independence (30)From the edge of Uptown to Matthews, Independence Boulevard sees more traffic than most of Charlotte. Here is where you can find (non-restaurant) stuff. |
On with the Show (23)Concerts, festivals, performances, races, shows and other performances in and around Charlotte. The events themselves, not the spaces! |
Getting Dirty Down South (18)Haven't ventured out of the South End? Take a ride from the outskirts of Uptown to the end of the line for plenty more places to check out. |
Perfectly Present-able (14)Where to find something for that special someone on your list. Batteries (probably) not included. |
It's In the Bag (27)Shopping in and around the Charlotte area. |

Fabulous Fifty-One (35)As with many other roads around Charlotte, Highway 51 has many names. In this case, based mostly on the towns it travels between. Here are some (non-restaurant) stops along the way. |
