Our State’s Top 75

Reed Gold MineSpeaking of Top 10 Lists, Our State Magazine just came up with a list of their own: in their February issue cover story, they feature “75 Things Every North Carolinian Should Do.” Thse were divided into 5 categories: Play, Learn, Relax, Shop and Eat.

Cabarrus County attractions that made the list:
#44: Troutman’s Barbecue
#55: Reed Gold Mine
#66: Trout Fishing in Camp Spencer Park

Now, I urge you to check out the list and weigh in! What shouldn’t be on the list? What should be on the list but isn’t? Did they miss the mark, or did they get it right?

My suggestions for next year’s list?

Play: Race Shops, Concord Motorsport Park, Lowe’s Motor Speedway, Cabarrus County Fair, Midland Magic, Highland Games at Rural Hill Farm
Learn: NC Research Campus, Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society Museum
Relax: Memorial Gardens in Downtown Concord
Shop: Concord Mills, Downtown Concord, Cannon Village
Eat: Forty Six, the Research Campus-inspired restaurant in Kannapolis; Vegetarian Fare in Concord, R&R Barbecue, Punchy’s Diner

OK, enough of what I think: I want to hear from you!!
