A retail giant is moving to South Boulevard in Charlotte. Here's what's changing

A major off-price retail giant is moving to a new space on South Boulevard in Charlotte in time for the holiday shopping season. TJ Maxx will open its 25,570-square-foot store at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 19 at 5107 South Blvd. in Charlotte, the retailer recently said. TJ Maxx will anchor the renovated 77,000-square-foot Seneca Square shopping center , according to property manager Foundry Commercial. The store offers brand-name and designer fashion, accessories, beauty products, jewelry and home goods at discounted prices. TJ Maxx is relocating from a slightly larger, 31,954-square-foot spot less than a mile away at 4726 South Blvd. , the retailer said. “We are always assessing and reviewing our real estate strategies, and our decision to relocate this store reflects that thinking,” company spokesperson Maddie Peters said. The 110,000-square-foot Woodlawn Marketplace center is anchored by The Home Depot, alongside Micro Center and Burlington. In August, Lowes Foods submitted plans with the city of Charlotte to renovate the Burlington store at 4726 South Blvd. with a drive-thru and parking lot improvements. Those plans have not yet been finalized, the Winston-Salem-based grocer recently told The Charlotte Observer. What to expect at the new TJ Maxx Features at the new South Boulevard

How a tiny sandwich shop by Charlotte got Michelin's attention, and why you should go

A snug sandwich shop near Charlotte with only 14 seats inside and almost as many picnic tables outside made this year’s Michelin Guide American South as a recommended restaurant, surprising foodie followers used to seeing avant garde tasting menus and fine dining steakhouses on the list. But probably no one in North Carolina was more caught off guard than the owners of Pump Social , Rachael and AJ Donner, who opened the restaurant in a former gas station in Concord just last August . She thought the September email sent by the French tire company’s little red travel guide was spam. At least she did until checking with friends whose Nashville restaurant was listed as a Bib Gourmand last year by “sheepishly” sending them a screenshot — and hearing they believed it was real. “I keep thinking, ‘How did we? Like, how would they even know?’ I don’t know. I have no idea,” Donner said of the whole experience. ”This was never something that was on our radar — ever,” she said. “And then being open a year, and we got that email. Even if it’s just a recommendation. I mean, I’m so happy to be even included,” she said.

‘We are a mess.' CMS board creates committee to examine its own problems

After weeks of turmoil , controversies and occasional infighting , the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools board Tuesday agreed on at least one thing: It needs to take a hard look at itself. The board voted unanimously to establish an ad hoc committee tasked with evaluating its governance practices and recommending reforms, nearly seven weeks after the contentious firing of Superintendent Crystal Hill. The move follows repeated calls from board members and the public to address concerns about accountability, transparency and their ability to work together. At the September meeting where Hill was fired and board member Stephanie Sneed stepped down from her post as board chair, board member Monty Witherspoon called the board “dysfunctional” and said it had “spiraled into chaos.” Board member Haynes, who spearheaded the proposal, acknowledged the board’s struggles in urging her colleagues to support the committee. “A few weeks ago, one of us said it plainly: ‘We are a mess,’” Haynes said. “We’ve sounded the alarm. Now are we prepared to change?” The newly established Board Strategy, Governance, and Operations Committee will develop recommendations for improving board operations, strengthening governance practices and creating a strategic plan for the board itself. Its responsibilities include evaluating the board’s existing Student
