A couple of weeks ago, I received some e-mails about our 40-and-up discussion. Some readers wanted to know about where the “mature” crowd could go in Fayetteville to hang out...


There are two big events happening this weekend: Friday the 13th and Valentine’s Day. These “holidays” are on two completely different sides of the spectrum, but there’s something to do for whichever special day floats your boat. Friday The Rock Shop, located on 106 S...


I’ve been seeing a lot of women in their 40’s and older wearing mini-skirts and other revealing ensembles at the clubs lately. Recently, I saw a woman, maybein her mid-40s,wearing a spandex skirt that rode up too high in the back for her own good...

Whenever I leavea club or bar, I’m forced to ask, “Why isn’t smoking prohibited in Fayetteville’s clubs and bars?” I ask that question every time I realize that my favorite Michael Kors perfume has been overpowered by the stench of Marlboro Menthols, and my winter jacket has to be dry...
