12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.

Advocate Health to invest over $1 billion into workforce. What it means for employees

Starting next year, Charlotte-based Advocate Health will spend more than $1 billion on its employees, raising its minimum starting pay from $18.85 to $20 per hour. The largest hospital system in the region announced it will invest $1.24 billion, with $846 million allocated toward additional compensation and $390 million toward added benefits. These changes will be implemented through Advocate’s annual compensation process during the first quarter of 2027. “The most important investment we make isn’t in buildings, technology or equipment. It’s in our people,” said CEO Eugene Woods . “Healthcare is a 24/7 calling and every single day our 170,000 teammates bring extraordinary skill, compassion and commitment to the patients and communities we serve.” Advocate will also offer four weeks of paid parental leave and absorb most increases in healthcare costs to keep coverage affordable for employees and their families, according to the health system. Expanding pay across the footprint The last base pay increase was established in January at $18.85 per hour. The bump to $20 is part of an ongoing effort to remain competitive in the healthcare industry. This increase applies to employees across the Carolinas and several other states.

Will your Charlotte neighborhood trees be clear-cut for billboards? Here's a list

Charlotte and state leaders are requesting that billboard owners put a pause on cutting trees to improve visibility to their signs. The request comes after Adams Outdoor Advertising cut down a 500-foot stretch of trees — perhaps more than 100 trees — to improve visibility of a billboard along U.S. 74 or Independence Boulevard in Plaza Midwood. The tree clearing caused a massive outcry from local businesses owners along Commonwealth Avenue and residents. Business owners said the trees blocked out noise and pollution coming from the highway. There are 40 active permits around Mecklenburg County where Adams Outdoor and Lamar Outdoor either intend to cut trees or have already. The Plaza Midwood site is one of those places. Here’s a list of the active permits that were issued between July 14 and Nov. 2:

THC drinks could soon be banned in NC. How will it affect Charlotte businesses?

For some, a night out no longer has to end with a cocktail, a beer or a glass of wine. A can of THC-infused seltzer offers another way to enjoy the festivities, without necessarily drinking alcohol. The beverages, which contain tetrahydrocannabinol — the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis that produces a “high” — appeal to customers who are sober-curious, abstaining from alcohol or want to try something different. But their presence in the North Carolina beverage market is facing an uncertain future as lawmakers consider tighter restrictions on hemp products. A federal law originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 12 would narrow the definition of legal hemp, eliminating most THC-infused drinks containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Congress has since delayed those restrictions until Dec. 11. North Carolina lawmakers have also considered similar restrictions through House Bill 328 , but the bill remains stalled in the House Rules Committee. Rep. Tricia Cotham, who was a co-sponsor of the bill, lost her re-election bid earlier this month, meaning passage of the bill could be more difficult with Democrats set to take control of the House in January, The News & Observer reported .
