Watch LaMelo Ball drive around on the top of his condo building, plus learn about what Brits think about America barbecue, how my golf shoes disintegrated at Pinehurst, and more.
I played one day with an old friend who forgot his golf shoes. He played in his boat shoes and shot a 73, taking a smooth swing all day and letting the clubs do their job. I told him to go home and throw his golf shoes in the trash.
Parker's is a venerable institution and worth honoring for that. I've had many meals there, memorable for the company and the cornsticks. One with Betty Ray McCain is an especially precious memory. But the truth is (I hate to say it) that since they stopped cooking with wood their barbecue is far from "America's best." It's far even from eastern North Carolina's best.

Wilber's is (far) > Parker's. I've eaten at both many times since the late 70's, and there's no comparison. Parker's has better marketing, not better 'Q.
Also! You think the CLT overlook is cool (and it is!), you need to hie yourself over to the Sullenberger Aviation Museum...I started as a docent there when they opened a couple of weeks ago, and it is next-level avgeek fuel!
The museum was not as engaging as it should be. The Boeing cockpit was not open and other interactive displays were not functioning yet. Also, they need a better effort to connect the visitor with the planes and copters they are viewing. Not much in the way of signage or stories to connect you with the specific plane you have in front of you. The overlook was a bust as it is a great facility but far from the actual runways and planes. Perhaps the new runways will change this.
I hear your concerns, Steve, and will forward your comments to the appropriate staff. By chance, did you let anyone (docent, staff) know of your feelings before you left? I hope you will give us another try as we get the kinks worked out!
I would absolutely return when the museum exhibits are finished. I didn’t voice my concerns but guest follow-up surveys would be helpful to the museum . By the way, the Miracle on The Hudson video and plane were specatular.

I was hoping you'd chime in on this one.
