With the Infinity Gauntlet fully assembled, Thanos has the power to do …

Han Solo at Seventh Sin Tattoo Company

Yesterday was May the 4th, a joyful celebration of all things Star Wars because of the play on words “May the Fourth be with you.” We spent the day celebrating the Jedi and our favorite galactic heroes on the light side of the force. But, now it’s time we come to the dark side because it’s the Revenge of the …

Book Buyers

What’s the last thing you’d expect to see in a bookstore? We’ll give you a second to answer… if you said a single propeller airplane being piloted by two giant stuffed bears, then you are oddly specific and have likely been to Book Buyers in Plaza Midwood. The #OGclt book shop has graced the Plaza since 1999. If you’re in …

Denton Burrows Mural on Central Ave

Once upon a time, getting lost (or just wandering around) in Charlotte wasn’t that much fun. These days, thanks to the unstoppable work of gifted muralists, there’s a visual treasure to find around almost every corner — like this mural from Denton Burrows, painted on the Mecklenburg Valve building at 2407 Central Ave. (PSSST! Get ready, Talking Walls is coming back with a vengeance this October and it’s bound to be amazing.)
