    Congratulations to Capitol Broadcasting Company (my employer) on the “topping out” event yesterday at American Tobacco Campus. I am thrilled to have another Starwoods (my hotel brands of choice) property coming to the Triangle – especially the youthful, trendy Aloft brand.

    Gather around to hear the story of a time and place where people went to “drive-in” movie theaters rather than megaplexes to see a movie on the big screen… See all the pictures here! On Saturday night, Johnnie Bud and I made the hour+ drive from just south of Downtown Raleigh to Henderson, NC (44.8…

    I have not been to the beach yet this summer (unless you count the whirlwind weekend at the end of April for Brianne’s wedding – be we barely saw the beach… there was other fun to be had!). Here’s hoping that every weekend in August I’ll be at the coast. I can’t believe these pictures…
