A pioneer in queer spaces in terms of diversity and inclusivity, Scorpio is still in business today. With such a pillar still around, you would think queer spaces are valued and protected. Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Habitat for Humanity moves closer to building homes in Kings Mountain

Habitat for Humanity in Cleveland County is one step closer to building homes in Kings Mountain. The Kings Mountain City Council voted at its October meeting to move forward with plans to convey several parcels of land at the north end of Myers Street to the Kings Mountain Redevelopment Commission, which will then transfer the property to the nonprofit. The developed homes will be the first in Kings Mountain for Habitat for Humanity. The process began in 2024, when the city identified the four parcels as a potential site for Habitat for Humanity homes. Since then, the city has been working to determine how to legally convey the property to the organization. In June, the city attempted to transfer the land through an upset bid process, but those plans were scrapped after Sundown Automotives submitted an unexpected bid of $3,000. More: Kings Mountain seeks new path for Habitat for Humanity land sale Henry Earl, assistant city manager, presented a new proposal to council, saying the process had been a long time coming. "Staff is asking council to convey to the Redevelopment Commission who, acting in their capacity as a housing authority, will then in turn convey it to Habitat Humanity

Queen’s Grant ended the 2025-26 high school basketball season atop The Charlotte Observer’s Sweet 16 poll. Today, the Stallions start the 2026-27 in the same place: No. 1 in the region’s oldest high school basketball poll. The Observer began The Sweet 16 in 1984 and offers a large banner to the winner to hang in its gym. The ranking includes teams from Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln and Union counties. Queen’s Grant, because it doesn’t have football, is allowed to start its season early. The Stallions have gotten off to a 1-2 start, after a pair of losses to N.C. private school power Forsyth Country Day, the reigning NCISAA 4A state champion and Sweet 16 preseason No. 3 Concord Academy at the Carmel Christian Tip-Off over the weekend.
