This is Charlotte – Shakespeare at the Green Uptown 2012

June 11, 2012

Shakespeare on the Green is one of my favorite events of the year in Charlotte. But of course you, my faithful readers, already know that from last year’s post. To avoid writing a redundant blog about what a spectacular event this is, I just want to push out a friendly reminder that time is almost running out to catch this year’s performance of The Tempest. As always, it’s a performance that shouldn’t…

This is Charlotte – King’s Drive Artwalk

May 2, 2012

For the most part, Charlotte does outdoor events right during the warm weather season – free concert series on most Thursday nights, gallery crawls on Friday nights, Pops in the Park on Sundays, NASCAR related festivals, food related festivals, Shakespeare on the Green, White Water Center Events, Saturday night concerts at the Epicenter, art festivals, wine festivals etc, etc. The cities only downfall is too much is packed into the same timeframes. …

I have normally embraced change. My…

This is Charlotte – Shakespeare at the Green Uptown

June 11, 2011

While travel is a passion of mine, I wholeheartedly believe in exploring the city you live in – the sites, the sounds, the tastes, the arts, the culture, the scenes. Basically, be a tourist in your own town. For me, that town is Charlotte, North Carolina. Like many residents of the Queen City, I am a transplant that calls this magnificent city home and don’t have any plans to leave it in…

When Life Gives You Peach Schnapps

September 14, 2009

My wife’s birthday was not shaping up to be what she was expecting (thanks to an age inappropriate gift from her Mom and sister…), and I had to rescue it. I meticulously planned the entire weekend. To start with, I was going to have a Cosmo waiting for her Friday evening after work while she unwrapped her presents before a night on the town with apps at Wine Shoppe, dinner at City…
