Charlotte Knights (White Sox AAA club) aren't too far away either.
Their stadium is in the middle of the city and has an awesome skyline view.

There’s a great instagram page dedicated to personalized NC plates. “NC Plateboi”. Every year during March Madness he does a bracket challenge will all the best plates. It’s hilarious.

I went to a Wilco concert in Asheville last spring. Saw a good many teenagers there. Most were up front. Thought that was awesome.

A prior thread. Definitely drive out to Bugaloos for lunch or dinner if you can.
Yep, whatever I said in that thread.

Someone mentioned Aruba in this thread. I visited this resort for dinner a month ago and if I went back to Aruba it would be here. Upscale Adults Only. Not all inclusive but has really good restaurants and is on a gorgeous beach. The condos have a kitchenette and will arrange for grocery delivery.

Aruba is extremely accessible. Easy to drive around, tons of great restaurants and bars, modern public transportation, clean, safe, no seaweed, no rain, no hurricanes, and no mosquitoes.

Yes. Gaffney, SC. When she was a teenager she taught my brother swimming lessons at a summer camp.

Interesting you’ve landed on Antigua. We’re staying at Cocobay Resort late July (not a honeymoon). It’s a 4 star all-inclusive and more rustic than Hammock Bay. We like to mostly relax on the beach but they do offer excursions or can help you find them. It’s also in an area with a string of great beaches that are walkable from the resort. Hammock Bay looks nice for a honeymoon.

SAT we went to the downtown mall area which for about the hundredth time made me ask “why don’t we have anything like this at home?” And then I remember why…

Make sure you do your research regarding sargassum (seaweed). It’s getting worse and worse and what used to be a summer problem is now a year long issue.

Most west sides of islands are safe.
I use the Priceline “Express Deal” pretty often. It’s a blind reservation. You select the number of hotel stars and they’ll give you a hint by listing 4-5 possible brands. You can narrow it down pretty easy by cross checking if they have a restaurant, pool, pet friendly, etc.

Anyway, I most recently got $100 off a Hilton in Uptown Charlotte. While the Hilton website said that particular hotel was fully booked.
That’s Carolina Mic! I’ve met him.
He went viral for the Panthers version of his song 150k and now he’s invited to halftime shows to perform around the southeast. The funny part is he lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Greensboro’s PD social media has been goofy for years. They do some pretty funny stuff.

Also depends on mulch, staking, watering, soil prep/amendments, 1 yr guarantees, etc. It seems a little high but “you get what you pay for” goes both ways. Did they describe all of that stuff in the quote?
Finally showed up for me. Nice to be able to drop shows like “My 20,000 lb wife” or whatever they show on TLC.
Add a layer of some black cow manure or compost and mix it in. It will give it the fresh darker look and add nutrients.

Old mulch will still do most of its job (retains moisture and weed deterrent). I’ve never removed it.
