Time for the 'Best' Party

The May issue of Charlotte magazine has been on newsstands for a couple of weeks now. If you've purchased a copy then you know that it's the magazine's annual Best Of the Best (BOB) issue. If you haven't gotten it, go get it. This one issue will tell you more about Charlotte than any other. Read about the winners of more than 250 categories regarding the best in shopping, dining, nightlife, sports, people, and more.

And the best part of the ordeal is the BOB Awards. It's the party the magazine sponsors each year in conjunction with the issue. It's taking place this Thursday, May 8, 6-9 p.m. at SouthPark Mall. Click here to learn more about the event, including which restaurants will be there serving samples of their popular dishes, and to purchase advance tickets.

I worked on the Best Of feature, which spans more than 25 pages. And in the spirit of this heightened political season, I officially endorse this party. Hope to see you there!
