The Arched Door to Mac Tabby Cat Cafe
NoDa is the historic arts district just Northeast of Uptown in Charlotte, NC.  NoDa offers a rich and eclectic mix of arts, entertainment, shopping, eating, breweries and cultural enrichment.  I had the pleasure of previewing NoDa’s newest resident, Mac Tabby Cat Café, for The American Dream TV as they prepare for their Grand Opening at 3204 N Davidson St.  Mac Tabby fits right in with The Dog Bar, Smelly Cat Coffee, Cabo Fish Taco, The Blind Pig and The Rat’s Nest Vintage (sensing a theme here?)

Mac Tabby Cat Café is the realization of a lifelong dream of Lori Konawalik.  Her love of cats has inspired her to adopt and foster cats and kittens for over 35 years.  She pursued her American Dream to a new level in 2017, partnering with Catering to Cats and Dogs to find furr-ever homes for homeless cats and kittens.  

The concept is super simple and brilliant:
  •  Catering to Cats and Dogs RESCUES homeless cats
  •  The cats are vetted (spayed/neutered, combo tested,   
  •       vaccinated and microchipped)
 They come to the Café (maximum 12 at a time) where 
​       they are available for fun, stress relief and ADOPTION
For an hourly rate, you can hang with the cats – chill, work, play – and find the purrfect 4 legged addition(s) to your FAMILY.

​The people side of the café offers cozy seating and a varied menu of drinks and food from local establishments like Pure Intentions Coffee, Lenny Boy Brewing Company and Black Cat Tea Company.  There are a variety of fresh baked cookies, energy bar, crunch bars, muffins and the newest addition – empanadas!  You are welcome to bring your own food and beverages – I’ve had many a picnic there!  And you can bring the food and drink into the cat side – just please don’t share the people food with the cats.  Treats and Cat Wine are available for purchase if you wish the treat the kitties!

No New Years Day Celebration??

1/3/2019

Can you imagine a time with no New Years Day Celebration?  No countdown, no ball (or pinecone) drop, no kiss to ring in the new year?  I ran across some interesting history of New Years Day that I thought I'd share:

January 1, 45 B.C., was celebrated as New Year's Day for the first time in history as the Julian calendar took effect.Soon after becoming Roman dictator, Julius Caesar decided that the traditional Roman calendar was in dire need of reform. Introduced around the seventh century B.C., the Roman calendar attempted to follow the lunar cycle but frequently fell out of phase with the seasons and had to be corrected. In addition, the Roman body charged with overseeing the calendar, often abused its authority by adding days to extend political terms or interfere with elections.
In designing his new calendar, Caesar enlisted the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, who advised him to do away with the lunar cycle entirely and follow the solar year, as did the Egyptians. The year was calculated to be 365 and 1/4 days, and Caesar added 67 days to 45 B.C., making 46 B.C. begin on January 1, rather than in March. He also decreed that every four years a day be added to February, thus theoretically keeping his calendar from falling out of step. Shortly before his assassination in 44 B.C., he changed the name of the month Quintilis to Julius (July) after himself. Later, the month of Sextilis was renamed Augustus (August) after his successor.
Celebration of New Year's Day in January fell out of practice during the Middle Ages, and even those who strictly adhered to the Julian calendar did not observe the New Year exactly on January 1. The reason for the latter was that Caesar and Sosigenes failed to calculate the correct value for the solar year as 365.242199 days, not 365.25 days. Thus, an 11-minute-a-year error added seven days by the year 1000, and 10 days by the mid-15th century.
The Roman church became aware of this problem, and in the 1570’s Pope Gregory XIII commissioned Jesuit astronomer Christopher Clavius to come up with a new calendar. In 1582, the Gregorian calendar was implemented, omitting 10 days for that year and establishing the new rule that only one of every four centennial years should be a leap year. This is our present day calendar.

"When my wife and I were searching for a real estate agent in Fort Mill, SC we came across Jenny Linich and found her website to be extremely helpful.   A few words that I use when describing Jenny are: trustworthy, honest, and  knowledgable about the market.  She goes out of her way to know all of the details about every new builder in York County, SC.  Considering all the realtors I have dealt with in  my life, I have to say that Jenny Linich was the smartest and most informative throughout the purchase of our new home.   She ensured we got the right home for our family.  She even helped us  know which builders and neighborhoods would be a bad fit for us.  Jenny truly listened to our needs and provided us with all the information we needed to make our new home purchase"
