  1. Speaking of "green" grocery stores, has anyone checked out the new HT in south Charlotte(off Audrey Kell rd., I think). A friend of mine told me that CNN news was there a couple of days ago because it was the nations first green grocery store. Anybody got any info on this?

  2. The store opens Wednesday (March 19th)

    Yeah, it got pushed back a couple of times, march 5th, then mar. 12th and finally the 19th. Some didn't think they would make it by the 19th but they kicked into high gear over the past few weeks to get it done. Beautifull store, if this is what Bi-lo plans on doing with all future stores, then there may still be hope for them yet. Makes me worry about the teeter across the street, they just spent a couple million on a remodel. But I don't feel like it was nearly enough. Can't believe I'm saying this but compared to the new Bi-lo it looks like a dump. :lol:

  3. Super Bi-Lo is just larger and offers more services than a general Bi-Lo store does. It's not like a Super Wal-mart where they offcer a full department store plus a full grocer... but the Super Bi-Lo has things such as a Staples express type store.. coffee shop of course.. photo center.. etc.
    That's pretty much what I figured. I wasn't sure if they have all that other stuff(electronics,etc.) or not. Thanks for the input. :thumbsup:
  4. The Super BI-LO at the corner of Weddington Rd. and Mckee rd.(near Matthews and Stallings) is almost finished. I think I heard it's opening on March 5th. Anyone know if it's that much better than a reg. BI-LO? There's already a Harris Teeter across the street. I can't see that many people switching from Teeter to BI-LO unless it's really nice. Those folks over there don't really care much about low prices. They just want nice, well lit stores with good meat, good produce departments, and clean bathrooms.

  5. They can take Bon Jovi, I guess Charlotte will have to settle for Radiohead this spring instead.

    I wouldn't go see Bon Jovi if someone paid me $1000. But Radiohead on the other hand, I would gladly pay $500.00 for the opportunity. :thumbsup: Their shows normally sell out in a few mins. Anyone have an inside scoop on a date for this show? :unsure:

  6. I would love to see UNCC with a football team, and possibly a Memorial stadium reno to fit the teams needs...

    Just think how great uptown would be on saturdays with the light rail line coming from UNCC.

    People could stay after the games, party, and not even have to worry about getting a DUI :alc:

  7. As much as I would love to post that entire website on here, I can't for obvious reasons. But they have gone to the trouble of coming up with the pros and cons of every scenario and how to counter them on a realistic level. Stadium included. Money is the key issue, and that is why they are initiating this drive.

    Cool. :thumbsup: I hope they can find a way to make it work.

    I'll make sure to check it out when I get home from work. ;)

  8. I would love for them to have a football team, but don't forget that for every dollar they spend on mens sports they have to match it for the women's sports as well.

    Every time I've heard it discussed, Judy Rose(I think that's her name) shoots it down with all the usual reasons. Like not having stadium for one thing.

  9. It appears the real reason the HOF is coming to Charlotte is simply due to the number of local drivers who said they would readily support the HOF in Charlotte, but would not get on a plane to do the same for one in Atlanta. This includes all of the biggies such as Dale Jr.

    Apparently there is nothing that NASCAR can do to force them to support the other museums, hence the other cities never stood a chance.

    I think they would have gone to the other cities if their sponsors twisted their arms a little. Maybe just not as willingly and often as having it here in Charlotte. :thumbsup:

    Nascar made the right decision. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I just hope it doesn't wind up costing Charlotte too much.
