Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools Offers Comparison Data
Posted by: | CommentsCharlotte Mecklenburg Schools recently announced a powerful new tool that allows users to compare school performance against each other, state values, and more. Several years in the making, this new softward gets down to the nitty gritty – are busses running on time? what do the parents think of the school? how does a school rate in relation to the state scores?
With newcomers to the Charlotte area hungry for information on our schools, this tool will be invaluable. I haven’t tried it out yet, so I can’t offer an opinion on how user friendly it is. If anyone has tried it, let us know what you think.

Wachovia Championship in Charlotte Through May 4
Posted by: | CommentsUPDATE – Monday’s Pro-Am has been cancelled due to weather.
For the next week, through May 4, the Wachovia Championship golf tournament returns to Charlotte once again. Tiger Woods won’t be here this time (knee surgery), but it’s still a strong field as usual. I believe that tickets are sold out, but Mulligan tickets can be bought most days at the parking areas. Mulligan tickets are ones that have been turned in by patrons leaving the tournament earlier in the day. They are resold for a nominal amount and allow last minute spectators to see the tournament. It’s a great idea.
The well-run tournament is always a great way to spend the day and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Quail Hollow Country Club.
