Co-Ed Dodgeball Comes to Charlotte this Saturday!
05/07/2012

If you’re an “adult”, Charlotte certainly has its fair share of organized sports to join like softball, basketball, flag football, heck…even kickball. But for some reason, it’s lacking anything dodgeball related. You’re probably thinking one of two things…the over the top Ben Stiller movie or your middle school gymnasium. Well, it’s time to bring old [...]

I was wrong about the Bobcats (AKA, why I love Charlotte)
05/07/2012

The Charlotte Bobcats are bad. Historically bad. Like so many others, I’ve criticized their direction after bad trades, bad drafts, and worse management.

The Charlotte hip-hop republic: meet your 2012 representatives
05/07/2012

The best thing about Charlotte Hip-Hop is that it is sooo versatile. This versatility also obstructs Charlotte from placing its rap city tac on the hip-hop map.
