Any Tracks Better Than K1 Speed Around Charlotte?

I recently tried K1 Speed, and while it was fun, the track felt pretty small and the karts only reached around 45 mph.

Are there any larger tracks within a few hours of Charlotte or Concord, NC, where the karts are faster. I am looking for something with longer straights, bigger corners, and a more authentic racing experience.

I would appreciate any recommendations!

Help us find Rudy a forever home!

About 10 days ago, I took this sweet little guy home through a staycation (trial adoption) with Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control. The shelter named him Norway, but I’ve been calling him Rudy.

Unfortunately, I’ve realized he isn’t the right fit for my home. My 8-year-old dog has made it clear that she’s not happy having a young puppy around. This decision has nothing to do with Rudy, he’s a wonderful dog. I’d especially love to keep him from having to return to the shelter on the Fourth of July.

Rudy is a Chihuahua mix who is estimated to be around 5 months old. He weighs about 11–13 pounds, is neutered, and has honestly exceeded my expectations. In the 10 days I’ve had him, he hasn’t had a single accident in the house. He’s learned to go to my back door when he needs to go outside, and for the past three nights he hasn’t even needed a middle-of-the-night potty break.

He’s incredibly smart and already knows “sit” and “down,” and he’s quickly learning “crate.” Like most puppies, he has a little FOMO, so he may whine for a few minutes before settling into his crate, but he settles down well. He’s sweet, affectionate, eager to learn, and loves tennis balls and chew toys. He can be a little mouthy at times, as most puppies are, but he’s very easy to redirect and responds well to positive reinforcement.

If you’re interested in Rudy or have questions about his personality, routine, or anything else, please send me a message. I’m happy to share everything I’ve learned while he’s been with me.

If you’re not ready to adopt, I also highly recommend doing a staycation through Charlotte Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control. It’s a great way to give a shelter dog a break while seeing if they’re a good fit for your home. Staycations can last up to 10 calendar days.

If someone is able to take over Rudy’s staycation, I’ll happily send his food, toys, and treats with him to help make the transition as easy as possible.

Stars and Strikes on 29 is a health hazard

I know some people who work/ed at this location; I've been in it myself. They have a mouse, roach, and rat infestation. I have pictures to prove it! I've called the Cabarrus Health Department, and so have two others I know. Customers have complained about mouse droppings in games and mice running freely in the arcade, kitchen, and bowling lanes. Mice are living in the lost and found drawer. There is contaminated candy in the prize area; mice often chew into the product, and it is still put out instead of thrown away. Please call and report this place; it's a genuine safety hazard to so many children!!!

Have you heard this deep, loud, heartbeat-esc noise outside? Is this nearby construction or the passing storm?

EDIT: Solved! Locust NC (9 miles from where I live) had a fireworks show that started at 10:00pm at the City Hall

I live near Zion Church road, this started at around 9:55 pm and ended around 10:08 PM, the noise happened at random intervals about five seconds apart on average, the last noise it made (the second clip) was much longer and sounded a lot more like typical thunder. I‘ve never heard such rhythmic-ish thumping from a storm before while it was passing away from us, there are storm clouds in the same direction of the noise that were occasionally flashing lightning. Has anyone else heard this noise?

Best heard with headphones on.
