Unpaid rent dispute between Charlotte stars Cam Newton and Lamelo Ball is over

An unpaid rent dispute between Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton’s company, Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball and Ball’s manager has reached an end, according to court documents. A lawsuit alleging Ball and his manager owed the former Panthers quarterback’s company more than $270,000 for 11 months of unpaid rent and other HOA fees was appealed to federal court in September and dismissed altogether last week. What exactly led to the joint dismissal, however, remains unknown. Attorneys on both sides did not respond to emails and calls from The Charlotte Observer. The at-times muddy saga has seen an eviction , contradictory claims and both local and federal courts over the last seven months. It all stems from a 2020 lease for Newton’s old Charlotte condos, which sit above an uptown Brazilian steakhouse and between the Spectrum Center and Bank of America stadium. In 2020, Newton had moved away from the city after helping the Panthers get to the 2016 Super Bowl . Ball was just beginning his five-year stint as the Hornets point guard, during which he would become the highest-paid athlete in Charlotte. Ball set sights on Newton’s condo, which was managed by a business owned by Newton and his

Café serving sweet and savory crêpes heads to South End. When does it open?

Hazelnuts Crêperie’s internationally-inspired treats can soon be found in South End Charlotte. The restaurant is poised to open a new location at 1750 Camden Road, just off West Boulevard, at the Camden Gallery Apartments. Owner Asi Agajan told CharlotteFive he’s aiming for an early 2027 debut. It will mark the crêperie’s second location; the other is on Rea Road in South Charlotte. “We originally started in uptown Charlotte in 2012, where we operated two locations, so we’re especially excited to be returning so close to where it all began,” Agajan said. Hazelnuts Crêperie offers both sweet and savory crêpes alongside espresso drinks from local roaster Enderly Coffee Co . Breakfast options include the “Americana” — made with eggs, cheddar, smoked turkey, avocado, spinach, tomato, red onion and a chipotle aioli. The delicate, French-style pancakes are typically enjoyed as a dessert — and there are plenty of indulgent options on the menu. “The Maple Dream” is topped with butter, powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Other treats include the Banana Nutella, Berry Delight and S’mores à la mode. What’s worth trying at Charlotte’s new Wegmans? Go for the sweets and sourdough “We’re not just a dessert or breakfast restaurant,”

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

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
