This North Carolina Restaurant Serves German Food So Good It’s Worth Driving Across The State For

Charlotte's airport development plan is too car-centric, planners say

Charlotte's planning staff has asked Crosland Southeast to design a less car-centric version of the "Destination District," the airport's nearly 40-acre development near the future Silver Line stop that could include multiple drive-thrus. Why it matters: Again, Charlotte is facing crossroads decisions that guide whether the city becomes more urban — or continues operating as a place where you're expected to own a car. Charlotte City Council is hosting a public hearing on the city-owned airport's rezoning request Monday, Nov. 16, where the developer may address some of these concerns. However, airport officials have been clear that they only intend to make the district so walkable due to traffic and FAA rules. The latest: The Destination District, envisioned as an "employment hub," is currently planned to include a mix of stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, a parking garage, a gas station and green space. They're aiming to complete it by 2032. As it stands, the rezoning petition seeks permission to build up to six drive-thrus, with possible exceptions for more at the site, located between Wilkinson Boulevard and I-85. City staff argues this would not create the ideal pedestrian environment to support the multibillion-dollar Silver Line light rail coming through there,

The Mount Airy News

Local man runs for 24 hours

It’s one thing to complete a marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K race — which all can be done in a span of minutes or hours — but a Mount Airy man has managed to run for an entire day. This occurred when Charles Hiatt took on the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge from Oct. 30-31 in Mint Hill, near Charlotte. Unlike some races with spread-out courses, the OMR Ultra 24 Hour Challenge involves a 1.35-mile loop that participants run over and over — “and over again,” Hiatt stated with a note of humor. The local man, an employee of Eagle Carports in Mount Airy, started the event on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. and finished on 7 p.m. the next day to cap what organizers call “a festive, Halloween-themed test of endurance.” While the running career of the former two-pack-per-day smoker previously included completing three World Marathon Majors in Boston, Chicago and most recently Sydney, Australia, he was a bit leery about the late-October event. “Running for 24 hours straight was definitely my biggest challenge yet,” Hiatt acknowledged. A friend and fellow runner, Josh Seawell of Pinnacle, had invited him to participate in the Mint Hill event. “Against my
