Feature City: Charlotte, NC

Starting a new line of blogs on this blog...Feature Cities. There will be no particular reason these cities are featured (most likely) and I may or may not have been there. But this way we get a little flavor to the blog beyond where I, or Melissa, have been. Hope you can find something interesting, someplace you know, or someplace you want to go.

Charlotte, NC

I'm starting the blog with a city close to home. I visit this city a lot for shopping, concerts, and sometimes just dining out.

My tops pics of what to do are:

Carowinds - An amusement park located half in North Carolina and half in South Carolina.

Discovery Place - A science center for kids and big kids alike, also featuring an IMAX.

Mint Museum - Not money, but art, of all sorts.

Concord Mills - Part of the great Simon Malls chain, where you can shop til you drop.

Charlotte Motor Speedway - Catch a race at the main track or the zMax Dragway.

NASCAR Hall of Fame - New in 2010!

Top places for nightlife/shows:

NC Music Factory - Fantastic place for live shows from the hottest names in music (Road Runner Mobile Ampitheater, The Fillmore), weekend dance parties (Halo), a bite to eat (Wet Willie's, Mattie's Diner), or to catch the game (Black Bear Saloon).

The Alley Cat - A great little bar with live music or DJs.

Coyote Joe's - Great place to catch some of today's hottest country stars, or just have a drink and do some dancing.
