What's the big deal about Charlotte street vendors? See what led to new sweeping ban

After more than a year of debate over Charlotte street vendors — from taco stands to sidewalk artists — city leaders made a sweeping decision this week: street vending is now banned, except in designated marketplaces that require a permit. The Observer’s Nick Sullivan reported the City Council voted 8-1 on Monday , with rule-breakers now facing $500 fines. Why has this been such a contentious issue that split business owners, residents and vendors themselves? How NoDa became ‘turf war’ over Charlotte street vendors Much of the controversy centered on NoDa, where vendors have long been part of the neighborhood’s artsy identity — and increasingly, part of its friction. The Observer’s Mary Ramsey reported last summer that business owners said the problems grew serious enough to threaten their livelihoods . Chris Wade, operations manager at Cabo Fish Taco’s North Davidson Street location, told the Observer in June 2025 that vendors blocked sidewalks, pulled away paying customers, cooked food without health inspections and sometimes engaged in “turf wars” that have turned violent. Wade pointed to a 2023 shooting outside his restaurant — an incident that left two people hospitalized on a busy Friday evening — as a turning point in the

10 North Carolina Italian Restaurants Where Your Money Goes Further

I love a fancy dinner as much as anyone. Still, my favorite Italian meals tend to come from family-run rooms with red sauce, garlic knots, and a takeout box for later. In one North Carolina pizzeria, a single slice gets compared to the size of a medium pie. I had to read that twice.

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 .

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.

‘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
