Restaurant Review – Nana’s Soul Food Kitchen

Restaurant Review - Nana's Soul Food Kitchen Dear friends arrived in Charlotte this evening and after checking into their hotel near the west side of Charlotte, my husband and I suggested meeting at Nana's Soul Food Kitchen.

The ambiance was much like a cafeteria/diner - very casual and the … Continue reading...

Hurricane Preparedness – Is Florence Going to Show Her Face in Charlotte? Another Hugo Perhaps?

Is Florence Going to Show Her Face in Charlotte? Another Hugo Perhaps? September 22, 1989 - Hurricane Hugo, the storm by which all other storms are measured here in Charlotte. Being 150 miles inland, we never thought it possible to be faced with the level of destruction we experienced, nor the costs of $9-Billion to clean-up and repair/replace. During the disaster, Charlotte reported sustained winds of 69 mph and gusts up to 99 mph, causing tremendous destruction to a region that virtually never sees such impacts from a tropical system, especially a hurricane. Some were without power for more … Continue reading...

In all, … Continue reading...

Scooter Sharing in Charlotte

Scooter Sharing in Charlotte First, it was dock-less rental bikes. Now, it's motorized two-wheeled scooters from Bird, Lime and Spin. They're appearing under a pilot program that's running parallel to the dock-less bike trial that is already underway and has been a bit hit for in-town Charlotte residents thus far. Showing property in Uptown this week, I found them all over the place! Most were in use and most were following the safety (with the exception of using helmets) and parking guidelines. This is a new and exciting 'spin' on Charlotte transportation - just another jewel in the Queen … Continue reading...
