This Myers Park ranch renovation stays the course
For this young Myers Park couple, their house had almost everything they were looking for: a coveted location overlooking the 18th hole of Myers Park Country Club, a manageable 3,000-square-foot footprint and interiors that had been thoughtfully updated. Built in 1955, the ranch had good bones and a kitchen and bathrooms that didn’t need renovating. It simply didn’t feel like theirs yet.

A Charlotte burger spot is days away from closing. Here's why & what's next
Q’s Culinary Cart only has a few days left at its North Charlotte storefront, as the smashburger joint prepares to step into a new chapter. The restaurant will close Saturday, Oct. 31, ending a two-year run after its owner chose not to renew the lease at 8432 Old Statesville Road. Now, a butcher’s shop is slated to move in. “As 2027 approaches, the pre-determination that we weren’t going to re-sign our lease for an extension was clear — mainly due to forecasted projections for the business overall,” owner Kwindarius “Q” Sapp told CharlotteFive. Well-known seafood chain bids adieu to Birkdale Village, ending 14-year run “It was a solid run bringing the concept to a side of town that doesn’t have anything similar close by, but in business you have to do what makes the most sense for the business.” Known for its specialty hot dogs, smashburgers and more, Q’s started as a food truck before trading its four wheels for a brick-and-mortar storefront in 2024, CharlotteFive reported.

Charlotte-born café named among nation's best spots for coffee. Why folks love it
A well-loved Charlotte bakery and café was just named among the nation’s best spots to cozy up with a cup of coffee. Amelie’s landed the No. 8 spot on USA Today’s 10Best Independent Coffee Shops list for 2026. It was the only North Carolina café to appear in the rankings of local spots with top-notch coffee, service and cozy vibes. “Beyond serving great coffee, these locally owned cafés foster a sense of community, offering welcoming spaces where regulars are known by name and every visit feels a little more personal,” 10Best editors wrote. A local mainstay, Amelie’s is known for its smorgasbord of pastries and other sweets. Think: croissants, salted caramel brownies, macarons, cheesecakes, éclairs and more. Savory options include quiches and hand-crafted sandwiches paired with seasonal soups and salads. Its drink menu is just as diverse, “with concoctions like their popular salted caramel mocha and thick hot chocolate competing with barista-crafted espressos and cappuccinos,” 10Best editors wrote. The outlet also touted Amelie’s cushy ambience and “whimsical” interiors, replete with checkerboard flooring and pops of color throughout.
