Car enthusiasts from all over the country will definitely want to park it at the Backing Up Classics Auto Museum. While the venue is small, it makes excellent use of the space it does have by presenting some intriguing autos. Some of the featured exhibits include cars as far back as the 1920s right through the auto boom of the 50s and 60s. There is also a row dedicated exclusively to Mustangs. Muscle cars, classics, and standards are all spotlighted in this fun, highly popular museum.
The Carolina Renaissance Festival allows you to travel to a time when court jesters made everyone laugh instead of sitcoms, the crowd watched knights jousting against one another instead of football games, and it was actually acceptable to eat with your hands instead of using silverware. All of those activities are still possible, thanks to this festival that offers plenty to discover, like Old World arts and crafts, delicious turkey legs and plenty of fun and games. Also, several festival goers dress the part, so feel free to join in!
Alexander Michael's, or "Al Mike's" as it's affectionately known, is one of those special nightlife hangouts where you'll feel right at home the minute you set foot in the door. The low-key atmosphere and laid-back attitude of its patrons will ensure that your first visit won't be your last. There's a tasty menu available that features burgers, nachos and fried pickles, among many other delectable choices. And even though the kitchen closes early, the bar is open late, and that alone is reason enough to stay late at Al Mike's.
