What’s not to like? More than 150,000 people spend the first weekend of June in downtown Charlotte, reveling in music, crafts, kids’ activities and, of course, food — some 100 samples of “tastes” from 30-plus Charlotte restaurants. The festival has grown over its eight-year history to become one of North Carolina’s largest food and arts festivals. Admission is free, food is plentiful (and so is the beer and wine, “at the Tavern on the Taste”), and the people-watching is sublime, rain or shine.

Nadia,
I am truly sorry for your loss. If more people would stand up for truth and justice from our government, maybe this sort of thing would happen less.
Thank you for your courage in speaking out. You are a true patriot as was your son. God Bless his soul. God Bless You. God Bless America.
Dear Nadia, My heart broke as I read your story. Thank your for standing up for truth, the world needs to know what the presidient and leaders of this country are doing to it’s own citizens. We are being led down a dark path by a bunch of self serving idiots. My prayers are with you and your loved ones and your son.
