For those interested in supporting east Charlotte as a growing international district, consider attending the second annual Taste of the World Restaurant Crawl on August 11th.

Busses leave from Eastland Mall and take you on tour of several restaurants along the Central Avenue corridor. Tickets cover transportation and food (I think beverages are extra). The event is organized by the Eastland Area Strategies Team, Carolinas Asian American Chamber of Commerce and the Charlotte Chamber East Area Council.

August 12- Perseid Meteor Shower

From Nasa.gov:

The Perseids come every year, beginning in late July and stretching into August. Sky watchers outdoors at the right time can see colorful fireballs, occasional outbursts and, almost always, long hours of gracefully streaking meteors. Among the many nights of the shower, there is always one night that is best. This year: August 12th.

The absolute best time is reported to be before dawn on Friday, August 12 but they can be viewed from July through August looking East.

What are the limitations on that? Isn't it that it doesn't apply to any single item over $100?
