our Founder in this walk down memory lane. It was here, on Central Ave, that Leon Levine’s entrepreneurial vision came to life. Tweet from @LeonLevineFdn Here’s a look back at the Harris Food Store when it was located at 1508-1510 Central Ave. This photo shows how the storefront and Central Ave looked during World War II and the immediate postwar years, circa 1942-1947. #CltHistory Tweet from @unccspeccoll Great piece of history one storefront on Central Avenue was the birthplace of @HarrisTeeter and Family Dollar Tweet from @chuckmcshane (Ed.: The New York-based pizza chain Emmy Squared announced in January that it would move into one of the storefront’s spaces by summer.)

To: “More Sizzle in SouthPark,” p. 33 Thank you @CharlotteMag for dining with us and sharing this amazing recommendation of our restaurant! Tweet from @Steak48 To: “A Flying (Re)Start,” p. 42 I hope it is better. I hated it. Wall to wall people. No where to sit. The direct flight to Madison does not get a great gate. Facebook comment by Jen Cov It’s a pretty small airport that has too many people flying through it. (Apparently it is considered “large” as they rank airports!) They are expanding and adding gates, at least. It is convenient for flying to Europe or the Caribbean, as it is an American hub. I like that it doesn’t take long to get to any one gate. It’s being improved. Facebook comment by Liz Young
