Charlotte’s coziest bar just made national headlines

Esquire just named Plaza Midwood’s own Lorem Ipsum one of the 15 best bars in America—and it’s only been open for two years! This isn’t your typical cocktail spot. Owner Justin Hazelton, a former DJ, built the place around music, art, and community vibes. Think: low lights, plants, curated playlists, and a true sense of belonging—especially for people of color. No dress codes, no pretension, just great drinks and even better company. They host local DJs and artists, and every visit feels like a new experience. What do you think makes a bar truly special? #Food #CharlotteNC #PlazaMidwood

Charlotte’s mental health movement grows

A new wave of support for mental health is taking root in Charlotte’s minority communities.

It’s more than just a gathering—it’s a chance for neighbors to connect, share real stories, and find resources that actually make a difference. Events like this are changing how we talk about mental health in our city. How do you think Charlotte can keep building a more supportive community for everyone? #Health #MentalHealth #CharlotteNC
