TODAY'S FEATURED SECTION: HOME & GARDEN

Stellar cellar

Lake Wylie homeowners find room to grown with a luxurious makeover of their waterfront bungalow's basement.

Their first baby on the way, Trent and Ragan Haston knew their one-bedroom bungalow on Lake Wylie was about to seem a whole lot smaller. But they adored the cozy house and its location. So instead of moving out, they moved down. To the basement.

HEALTH & FAMILY

  • Staying fit, using your wits

    Krav Maga teaches protection, not fighting, and using your brain while you're at it

    Chris Shanahan was looking for a good conditioning workout that would challenge his brain, too.

STYLE

  • Want the job? Get the look

    Even on a budget, you can present yourself

    You need to look sharp for any job interview. But it can be tough to look your best when you don't have much money for clothes. How can those short on cash - including recent college grads and downsized workers - make a stylish impression without going broke?

ARTS & LIVING

TRAVEL

  • Mexico's softer side

    The charming city of Valladolid has a colonial atmosphere brushed sparingly by modern ways

    The highway from Cancun to Chichen Itza is forced decompression: three hours on a straight, modern road through the wilds of Quintana Roo. Behind the motorcoach is the neon glitz of the resort coast; ahead lies the ancient Mayan city unearthed from the jungle.

FAITH

  • Green faith: Stewards of creation

    From a wildlife habitat at St. Luke Catholic Church near Mint Hill, to test-drives of hybrids at Shalom Park, to greenway development near Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, houses of worship are embracing the environment because of their sense of faith.

Tasting yields surprises among Merlots, roses

A Saturday morning that starts with Veuve Cliquot before noon usually means one of three things: A very wealthy friend is getting married. A very wealthy friend is getting divorced. Or it's time for the every-other-year Vintner Tasting at the Charlotte Wine & Food Weekend.
