Charlotte Restaurant Review: Supperland
Widely regarded as one of the hottest spots in town, it’s hard to believe that Supperland has only been open for about a year. Supperland is not the kind of place you go for a recurring weekly dinner (at least, that’s not the case for most people in our socioeconomic bracket) – it’s the place …
Pit-Stop Paradise: A BBQ-Filled Day Trip Guide to Lexington, North Carolina

Touring the Triangle: A Long-Weekend Travel Guide for Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina
I nearly titled this post “Troubles in the Triangle,” because it was a rollercoaster of a trip. Not because anything really went wrong in the cities themselves—they’re great!—but because our flights home kept getting canceled, doubling our trip length.
