By Clay Morrell | June 8, 2015 Views: As a teacher, I look forward to summer every year. As nerdy as it sounds, one of the things I look forward to the most is getting to read what I want to read. For 10 months out of the year when school is in session, I read what my kids are reading. Whether it’s books I’ve assigned (many of which I’ve read year after year), or books my students recommend, I do what I can to connect with my students through books. I am an English teacher after all.

Have you ever wondered why ABC stores are so few and far between? I mean, uptown Charlotte doesn’t even have one. That’s right, not one ABC store within the I-277 loop. A girl can’t survive off of gas station beer and wine alone, but within the loop, she must. I had heard that it was based on a per capita allocation, but upon further investigation, Mooresville is clearly where us alchy’s belong. There are 422 ABC stores located throughout NC.
(1) Pimento cheese My first encounter with pimento cheese was at a work party. I saw people spreading a strange cheesy concoction on crackers and asked, “friend, what’s that cheesy goodness you got there?”, to which I was answered “you Yankees don’t know what you been missing”. Turns out, she was right. I had my first bite of Palmetto pimento cheese, with jalpenos. Purely delightful.
