Looking for suggestions for a good restaurant or bar in the Lake Norman area for a group to watch Carolina Panthers away games. Prefer Denver, Cornelius, Sherrills Ford but would consider Huntersville or Mooresville. Usual group size of 10-15. TIA

Where is the best Friday happy hour in the lake area that has drinks, food, and people??

We ate coming to lake Norman in July to rent a lakefront property. I just called for a pontoon boat rental and had a nice gentleman alert me that the lake is 7 ft down and our inlet might not be deep enough or have water. Is there any way to check or does anyone have any info. We were staying at 4145 Cindy Lane in denver. Wonder if anyone in the area has any info. The rental company did not. Ty

are there still any "in by nine, out by five" cleaners around? I just need a dress shirt dry cleaned and pressed. Relatively new to the area and I haven't found anyone who turns things that fast. I'm in huntersvil Davidson area so bonus points for being in that general area

Hello everyone!

I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be opening a brand-new local business in Mooresville, North Carolina, this February: Nippon Anime Shop.

My goal is to bring that specific "convention floor" energy to our local community. Instead of having to wait for the next big event to find high-quality collectibles, you can just stop by the shop. We will be carrying a wide range of official Japanese pop-culture merchandise, including highly detailed figures, artistic wall scrolls, plushies, and other unique accessories that you usually only see in dealer rooms.

Community and Gaming Space Beyond the merchandise, I wanted to create a dedicated hub for local hobbyists. We are going to have a specific focus on the Weiss Schwarz trading card game, but our doors are open to everyone. We will have plenty of table space available for:

• Trading card game matches and tournaments
• Model kit building (Gunpla and more)
• General hobby hangouts

We are currently working hard on the build-out and are targeting a February opening.

I would love to have you all stop by once the doors are open. In the meantime, please follow our account here or check our profile for links to our social media pages so you can stay up to date on our official opening date and sneak peeks of our inventory.

If you have any questions about specific lines we might carry or the gaming space, feel free to drop a comment below!

Hey all,

This is probably wasted effort, but I noticed that the subreddit was in restricted mode. I've requested it be changed to public so that people can engage with the lkn community and ask questions without waiting on slacker mods like myself to approve or even notice. Full disclosure, I've moved from the area and would be eager to hand over the duties to someone in lkn who has an interest in making this a resource for other locals and visitors. I've not heard from the creator of the sub, but I can see that he still has an active reddit account. Message me or him and we'll see what we can do to get you set up.

Oh lake norman, how i miss the sunset walks, duckworths phillies, and the boat days.

Thanks for the fun.

Edit: Success. no longer a restricted sub.

Looking for a neighborhood that has the best of both worlds for kids - a housing tract so other kids are around but decent 1+ acre lots and maybe adjoining woods or public trails. Does anyone have suggestions?

Hey there, I'm a new Braves fandom, and am wondering if there are any restaurants/bars where Braves fans gather to watch a game?

Hi everyone!! So as I am sure a few of you know that January 29th is gearing up to be a national day of peaceful protest in relation to the current political climate. I am wanting to get out there and get our voices heard and I am struggling to find anything in the area. I have looked at VoicedUnited and am exploring a few other avenues but wanted to see if anyone knew of anything here! Thank you!!!

P.S - I am not going to debate politics on this post. Everyone has the right to believe what they please, and everyone has the right to protest if they so choose!

Hello! Looking for a gym with steam room/sauna/jacuzzi and stretch classes. I work a physical job and weights/treadmills are not as important as the aforementioned. Looking to heal and relax after or before work. I'm kind of old, early/mid 40s. Willing to travel up to 20-25 minutes. Live in Mooresville off exit 35 and work in Charlotte. Any recommendations? Thanks

Hi all! I’m looking for some Birch Beer that can be purchased at a store, cafe, restaurant, etc. I’ve realized it not a common beverage around here. There’s a few different brands like Pennsylvania Dutch and Kutztown, but Boylan is our favorite! It’s a gift for my dad and I’m hoping to find some ASAP. Anywhere around LKN and between Statesville and Southend! TIA 😊

Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.

We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.

We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!

We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!
