Community theatre is the heart of downtown Concord is full of charm, local talent and so much fun!…read moreI have attended quite a few plays, but this time we took in "A Time to Kill" and it was a delight! The quaint theatre boasts beautiful stained glass windows and comfy seats and the cozy community theatre vibe where no seat in the house is a bad one. We were on the front row center this time and loved it! The actors in this production were spot on and I loved the OCT adaption of the book/movie. The comedic moments had us laughing, but the serious moments were quite powerful in this intimate setting, and even though I knew the story, found myself leaning towards the stage waiting to see what was next! Visit the website for upcoming plays and patronize this precious hometown gem, you won't be disappointed! There is local artwork for sale in the lobby and light refreshments offered as well for reasonable prices. For every play I've attended at least part of the cast is mingling with the patrons following the play and I just adore that! So fun to chat with them and share your thoughts about that night's production. I can't wait to go back soon...seriously - check it out! It's not fancy but full of charm, not pricey but well worth the ticket price and not broadway, but an awesome way to spend a couple of hours and support local actors and musicians - what more can you ask for?

Literally no magic, just getting the kids riled up then getting upset and called them out when they were too wild. Called on adults that weren't watching or participating. My four year old wasn't entertained at all.

He berated the children the entire time. Absolutely disrespectful behavior, which brought down the…read morevibe of the party I attended. All the parents noticed. He even told a child to leave, despite the child not doing anything wrong??? If you're going to be in children's entertainment, make sure you actually enjoy the PRIVILEGE of being able to work with children and make their day brighter. If you're going to call yourself a magician, perhaps actually do magic tricks rather than pulling out animal cards and asking the kids and adults what sounds they make during some ridiculous kids vs. adults competition. Do not hire this guy. He's not an entertainer and clearly despises working with kids.

She met every challenge from an ever expanding guest list to diet restrictions with ease. A hundred champagne glasses? No problem... Gluten free? No issues! Oh wait 3 more people want to come... bring it on she said. The food was amazing extra cheers to the chefs to put out amazing hot food to everyone! The servers and staff? Smiling happy talking and looked like they were having as good a time as the guests! The Nellies crew delivered a perfect evening in every way! We have always loved the Nellies restaurant and it accommodated over 100 excited wedding guests with ease. The joy was amazing. Thank you from all 105 of us!!!!!

The best part of the night wasn't even the food but a teenage performer who was amazing on stage very talented young man I'm sure he'll go far! As for the food. It was a solid good not great I ordered the chicken and dumplings, which turned out to be more dumpling with a little bit of chicken it was tasty, but definitely could've used a sprinkle of salt and a few more chunks of chicken. The hubby ordered Cajun shrimp loved the flavor, but the sauce was a bit too rich and it became too much to handle after a few bites, Our waitress, an absolute gem!!! We wrapped things up with peach cobbler which was more miss than hit - we're crust people, and this was light on the breading and had a mysterious aftertaste that we couldn't quite pin down. We should've got the chocolate chip cookie like our waitress suggested next time we'll know, and there will be a next time. Loved the experience overall!

That makes for an open view of the golf course, but also means golf carts and guys in tacky clothes parading by during your ceremony. Also, for after dark weddings, that means a lot of glare off the glass during photos. The country club is near the airport, so there is some sporadic airplane noise as well. The ballroom is small, so really only comfortable for a smaller wedding. Otherwise, the one bar, floor space, and dance floor might be too cramped. Attended a family wedding, which was lovely. Service was good and food was very nice (buffet).

Now that the pandemic is "over" in that the libraries are reopened for browsing and study, I had a…read morechance to check out this pretty amazing library. Modern, open, airy. None of the stuffiness that you might expect from a classic library. With open stacks and lots of well organized books, this is a bright and clear space. There are a bunch of study desks along the huge windows. Most of them have power outlets nearby which is helpful because the library also has a free and unfiltered wifi. While you do need to be a resident to borrow books, no account is needed for Internet access. I found two or three books I liked, taking two of them to a comfy seat to ensure that they were what I wanted. Checkout is super easy and completely unattended. I'm very pleased with this branch!

The kid area isn't that big but does seem to be about 1/3 of the library. They don't have a lot of dress up or play areas but they have a lot computers. We had a large group so we had to double up on the computers. I found some good books to check out and a few movies also. The staff was pretty helpful but even though they are on the other side of the computers they seem be a little ways away from the kids area. The restroom is on the other side of the branch away from the kids area. The branch is clean and was very quiet. It was a rainy day during our visit. They had a cool view of outside and it made it very cozy to be tuck inside the library. Mountain Island Branch 4420 Hoyt Galvin Way, Charlotte, NC 28214 (Review 475 overall, 19 of 2021)
