In this issue

Settle into the final days of summer with our Family Fun Guide to Charlotte, in the August issue. Our list of 25 things to do with your kids in Charlotte stretches from the nostalgic (a burger at Zack’s, anyone?) to the new (have you tried the Popbar in NoDa yet?) and is sure to have something for you. Also this month, we look ahead to this month’s PGA Championship, to be held at Quail Hollow Club. Charlotte native Ron Green Jr. takes us through the city’s sports history, from the days when wrestling was probably the biggest event in town, to today’s world of Hornets and Panthers and major championships. We also visit the Charlie Sifford Course at Revolution Park, a course with just as much history at Quail Hollow.
