Charlotte Magazine - October 2014

In this issue

New research shows that breakfast may not, in fact, be the most important meal of the day. But we didn’t let that stop us from going all out with it in our October issue. This month, we deliver 14 pages of delicious breakfasts—from sweet to savory, eggs to bacon, coffee to tea—that are sure to get you out of bed. We also have a profile of Dale Earnhardt Jr., the most popular NASCAR driver in the world, who turns 40 this month, and travel story on Blowing Rock, one of the most popular mountain getaways for Charlotteans in the fall. As a bonus feature, we have a longform story about Reflection Studios, a recording studio that stood open for 40 years and played host to such music legends as James Brown and R.E.M., only to be torn down this summer. The story forces readers to ask the question: What are we losing as technology becomes more advanced? In the front of the book, we also have fun stories about a Quidditch team at UNC Charlotte and a look inside the uptown home of Panthers’ punter Brad Nortman.
