This North Carolina Outlet Mall Is So Big You’ll Need Comfortable Shoes and a Whole Day

A green sea turtle named Neptune swims inside a shopping mall here. He lives in an aquarium with an underwater tunnel, a few steps from outlet stores and a food court carousel. That alone would be enough for most malls. This one also has a 24-screen movie theater, go-kart tracks...

Did a Charlotte nightclub really charge $6 for a to-go box? Here's what we know

A to-go box fee listed on a Charlotte nightclub receipt has sparked a viral debate about how much is too much to pay for a meal out. An Instagram user who goes by the name Her Soles reposted a photo of a receipt from STATS Charlotte , which included a $28 dollar charge for Cajun chicken alfredo – and a $6 charge for a to-go box. It also included $1.02 service fee and 15% gratuity, bringing the total bill to $43.27. “$43 for some Alfredo by itself?????” the caption reads. “$12.12 extra for gratuity, a to-go box and a service fee is crazy! I would have told them to keep it. I’ll eat somewhere else.” More than 700 people responded — and many agreed with the original poster — with several commenters saying they would have left the club rather than paying the fees. “$6 for a to-go box is criminal,” Ashley Boulos commented. “Imma stuff the alfredo in my pocket just to prove a point.” “The way I would’ve walked out with the plate and silverware, the glass too,” a user named Nelle wrote. But not everyone sided with the majority. “OK, I hear y’all but STATS food is

Why Charlotte business leaders say a new airport deal is "critical"

Local business leaders gathered Thursday at the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance in Uptown to express support for the proposed Airline Use and Lease Agreement (AULA) at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Why it matters: The new AULA would launch a $2.1 billion capital development project called CLT Beyond . It would also keep CLT's signatory airlines here for the next 10 and a half years. Between the lines: While the city owns the airport, CLT is financially self-sustaining, meaning airport projects aren't funded by local income or property taxes. What they're saying: On Thursday, Charlotte-based hotelier Vinay Patel described CLT as "critical" to reporters. "It is by far, in my mind personally and I would say should be in everybody's mind, the largest economic development engine, not only Charlotte but our region has," Patel says. "Securing [CLT] and ensuring that it stays relevant, it stays thriving and continues to create jobs and opportunities is critical, not only for the city of Charlotte but the state and the region." What's next: Charlotte City Council is expected to vote Monday night on the AULA. Plans for CLT upgrades

Forget North Carolina, Retire To This Virginia Border Oasis With Affordable Living, Parks, And River Fun

North Carolinians often joke about New Yorkers relocating to the state en masse for retirement, but there's a reason the state appeals to so many retirees. You can put down roots near the coast, spending each day taking long beach walks, settle down in a cozy cabin in the mountains, or select a place somewhere in the middle to spend your golden years. But there's another option just across the border that you might not have thought about: Mecklenburg County, Virginia.

Mecklenburg, Discovery Place reach ‘tentative' nature museum deal, manager says

Mecklenburg County has reached a tentative agreement with Discovery Place to settle a dispute over a revamped south Charlotte nature museum. But some county commissioners still have reservations. County Manager Mike Bryant told commissioners at their Thursday meeting the nonprofit museum group is now able to pay back almost $14 million owed to the county within five years. The debt stems from about $14.6 million the county agreed to lend Discovery Place in early 2024 to help cover the construction of a revamped nature museum in Freedom Park . The county owns the property and facility on Sterling Road near the Dilworth and Myers Park neighborhoods. Discovery Place has long operated the museum. The money was due to the county in late October, but Bryant informed commissioners at an Oct. 6 meeting that Discovery Place couldn’t make the payment. Commissioners expressed dismay with the situation, threatening to take control of the museum’s operations and hold Discovery Place in default for the money. Board chair Mark Jerrell formed an ad hoc committee to figure out what the county was willing to agree to, and that group asked county staff to explore an independent financial review of Discovery Place’s operations, assets and

10 North Carolina Comic Book Shops Packed With Rare Finds, Nostalgia And Unexpected Treasures

Starting your own comic convention is a pretty extreme way to prove you take comics seriously. One North Carolina shop did exactly that back in 1982, and the event is still going every summer. That sent me looking at the rest of the state’s comic shops a little differently.
