There are painted rocks in front of every @cms.school with birthday messages. But, we gotta’s say, the one in front of Elizabeth Traditional School today is on point. Happy birthday, Josiah indeed!

MMMM! MMMM! This makes us hungry for a burger & rings. But, it also makes us hungry for #CLT knowledge. What other casual joints are Charlotte classics? What other vintage Charlotte eateries should be on our old skool #OGClt restaurant list? (Think 20+ years, like Zack’s, Tatsis, Beef & Bottle and House of Pizza.)

If you haven’t been by to experience the transformation of Queens University’s former brutalist Dana Auditorium (which we confess to have a soft spot for) into the brilliant, new Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts & Civic Engagement, make any excuse to get there. ⁣
⁣
This refurbished theater is just one of the treats in store for you. This building is an inspiring example of radical renovation of an existing building in lieu of 100% demolition.⁣
⁣
The creative energy hits you the second you’re inside with galleries to the left and right of you and a balcony where students are studying, creating and (often) practicing music.⁣
⁣
(PSSST! There’s also a rooftop workspace and a natural light hallway for photography.) Awesome. #charlotteiscreative

LaCa Projects has unveiled a new exhibition - “Intimismos” - featuring the works of two brilliant Argentinian artists, Franco Fasoli and Octavio Garabello. This is a welcoming, intimidate installation. The works are intricate in their composition and beg you to come up close to see how they are made. We had the good fortune of sitting down with Franco & Octavio for this week’s batch of The Biscuit podcast. Give it a listen on Thursday. 📸: @cravotta_photography #charlotteiscreative
