I was buzzed in and was immediately helped and told someone would be at the kitchen door to receive my items. 2 full bags of food from Einsteins & Dean and Deluca and hopefully an additional blessing to those people using the shelter. These folks do a great service to the community and I'm glad I can help them out when able....hence the additional star.

Hesitated to enter the building, but it was cold outside. From the man outside, (can't remember his name) the security personnel, the officer, the lady helping out the kiosks, and the person that assists me with my application, were all amazing! I left the building at 2:22.

[Had the recent experience this last Thursday, of being told by a Mooresville Chamber of Commerce representative that although my business, a nightclub, is located in Mooresville, that since I was not a current member of the Mooresville CofC, that I would not be allowed to attend a morning Hospitality Get Together, even though I had been directly invited by a member to attend the meeting....Had been considering applying for membership in Mooresville CofC: will not do so now...] Again, just join the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce. Staff and volunteers are great, welcoming, friendly, helpful,...all round nice great people! Lots of contacts...The Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce is THE LARGEST Chamber, therefore best bang for YOUR hard earned money! Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce just won a very hard to win Award for Best Chamber of Commerce in the two Carolinas!!! They have a great Visitors Bureau right next door to their offices.

I was in and out within 10 minutes. I don't know if the smooth transitions were due to staff at the library or the volunteers helping with voting.

I have been to this license office 6 times to get the title put in my name. I get to the office early,wait outside for 30 mins, then wait about 30 - 40 mins inside. EVERY SINGLE visit I am told, "You just need 1 more form filled out, and then you will have what you need." They "review" the documents EACH time and swear I have ALL I need except ONE form. I'm am going insane. One maybe two times would be funny, but the next visit will be visit #7! If you are the owner of this establishment, please send you ladies to proper training. AND reply to this message. Can I have a punch card... so the 7th time I will not have to wait in line?

How often do you ever leave a DMV location smiling and saying "Wow?!" What's the punchline you ask?…read moreRead on... I'm hesitant to write such a glowing review of a DMV DOT l.ocation, in fear of starting a trend by my fellow South Charlotteans of bypassing our more conveniently located ones (with the widely reported surly attitudes and the poor customer service), in favor of this one; however, such consistent friendly customer service should and must be recognized. Although a 45-minute drive north of my south Charlotte home, the ride was definitely worth it to get such unparalleled state service. In fact, their smiling faces and courtesy almost made me pinch myself to make sure that I wasn't dreaming or at either Chick-fil-A or Trader Joe's or Costco, three businesses known for such superior customer service. This is my second encounter at this location, both times of which, I had to transfer a title and get a new tag. The one lady who does that was polite, efficient and knowledgeable. Amazingly, she even made me feel like she really appreciated me as a customer. Go figure! I she even said "My pleasure!" upon thanking her. (Hold on a second while I pinch myself again.) This location is a testimony to excellent management, for that's where great customer service starts. Kudos to the manager there and to his or her staff. Again, I was reluctant in writing this positive review in fear of people actually reading it and adding to its lines, but I hope that other locations would seek to use this one is a model for improvement!

Founders Hall was filled with people supporting the cause and United Family Services. We were given ipod touches at check in to help us bid in the silent auction.

I noticed a…read morebeautiful piece of artwork in her home and she told me she won it in the silent auction at this wonderful event. I loved the piece and wanted to know more about the event. So after my research and attending this year's events here's what I found out: --artwork is donated by many talented artists across the Southeast and the fundraiser benefits nonprofit organizations (For 2013 it was Safe Alliance formally United Family Services) --It was hosted by Colleen Odegaard and Ramona Holloway of WCNC's Charlotte Today show --This year's fundraiser included an extra special celebration...a new Safe Alliance shelter which allows the organization to help many more people in crisis --Tickets were $100 --There were over 100 pieces in the auction (silent and live) so there was sure to be something that fits everyones' artistic style. I know there were a few favorites on my list!

Not a review of the Mint Museum, which I did not have time to visit today (I've lived in Charlotte…read morefor 13 years, I need to make the time) but the state's historical marker that is posted at the entrance to the parking area. It reads, "Operated as Branch U.S. Mint, 1837-61. Relocated to present site as art museum, 1936. Building expanded, 1968 and 1985." There is more information online. Gold was discovered in Cabarrus County in 1799 that caused a gold rush in North Carolina by 1825. As it was difficult to ship the gold to the Philadelphia Mint, laws were passed to build branch mints in the South including here in Charlotte, Dahlonega GA and New Orleans LA. The Charlotte Mint operated until North Carolina seceded from the Union in 1861. During its operation, it count about five million dollars in half eagles ($5), quarter eagles ($2.50) and gold dollars. The Mint was moved from its original location on West Trade Street (wondered why there's a Mint Street in Uptown?), piece-by-piece to this location and reconstructed during 1934-1936. Do visit the actual Mint Museum nearby and the one in Uptown. [Review 12303 overall, 2087 of 2019.]
