Conceived by public artist Leslie Scott who unfortunately died before it was complete has been here at the corner of Monroe Road and Conference Drive since it was unveiled in 2017. I read that the artist did not name it "Embrace" but the sponsors (the Monroe Road Advocates, moraclt.org) did. It is an interactive landmark as a full quarter of the sculpture is a mirror that is similar in spirit of Chicago's reflective "Bean" sculpture. The area is a small music venue, park and of course, the sculpture. It's worth stopping by to check out. [Review 11337 overall, 1114 of 2019.]

When I went there was also an exhibit of WW2 memorabilia. That was mostly about the life of the women from town since the men were overseas fighting the war. My family and I came here to learn and experience it all. We were fortunate to have a great guide in the docent, Brenda. Museum director and Matthews native, Bob, was also on hand to answer some questions and drop some knowledge. A great first stop on my most recent NC vacation. Next stop, Renfro's Hardware as recommended but the team at the museum.

Staff was friendly but the service was a bit slow. It would take over 30min just to receive one drink but they were always super nice about everything. They jad a DJ playing some great tunes and the whole vibe was amazing on a Wednesday evening. Always have a great time coming here. They also have an arcade with a few games to choose from. Plenty of parking as well.

When we first arrived, it was empty. But around 8 pm, it was a crowd on literally every bowling lane. The service was a bit slow in regards to ordering drinks. I had to keep asking about a glass of wine for like 20 minutes. The good music made up for our drink delays. Our family also enjoyed the photo booth that they have available. However, in order to use it, you have to purchase a Bowlero game card, load funds , and then use that game card to purchase the photo booth strips.

The 2017 Charlotte Food Fight did not disappoint. Another great event at Stumptown Park…read more I arrived right at 3:00 when the event kicked off and the crowds were already lined up in front of food trucks, which was great to see. This year there was a larger group of trucks, which I was happy to see. The secret ingredient this year was coffee! So each truck had to have one item featuring coffee, which made it very interesting. Fresh Med by far highlighted the coffee within their lamb and cous cous dish, amazing! I had the ability to taste several other trucks options and will say King of Pops had a great coffee popsicle! Overall, love the food, entertainment and beer selections from D9 Brewing. Definitely looking forward to 2018..what will the secret ingredient be???

All sorts of foods, from sandwiches to hot dogs to fried potatoes. Each of the food trucks had a Food Fight special and you were expected to try the special and then vote. Sadly, I only managed to eat six different specials (hey, I tried!) including Wings and Chips from Wingz on Wheelz, a Dirty South Bowl from New Wrap Order, a dog from JJ's Hot Dogs, a Half Italian from What Goes Round and then some tasty Chicken Thighs from Tiger Yakitori. Oh, and three beers from D9. Music was quite good. The first gal I heard was okay, but the Charlotte School of Rock kids were awesome. That dark haired girl rocked it with Helter Skelter, but it just seems like an odd choice from a teenager. Bassist was spot on. Maybe some more seating would have helped, but it is a park. I just forgot to bring my lawn chair. So I "accidentally" ran into the Yelp table and borrowed a corner, socializing with our lovely CM Nikki and Kate T. and Christi K.
