Text - I'm training for my first marathon and needed to get fitted for new running shoes. A family member highly recommended Red Rock Running Company. Their fitting process is amazing. They're very attentive and the process itself -- using video of the customer running on the treadmill -- ensures the best possible shoe choice and fit.  I've run a number of half marathons and I've been fitted for shoes several times before.  I admit I've been guilty of buying shoes based on color, style or price alone in the past -- and blisters and pain were the unfortunate result. This fitting, by Brent, was by far the most thorough.  He really spent time with me to be sure I was getting the right shoe for my feet and my running style.

Text - Going to Picasso's was a real experience. When we walked in...we just walked in. No hostes what so ever. Everyone's been to a sports bar before, this was a little strange to me. None the less we found seats close to the big screen. It seems like there's thousands of tv's in this place! I think there were only two servers working that day. But they had it all under control. It's kind of a do as you please atmosphere. Everyone had on a jersey representing their team, it was live! I ordered the two foods their known for. Pizza. Wings. I had a medium cheese pie and the cajun garlic wing basket (or whatever it's called). The pizza, not really all that great. It was just a step up, maybe two, from frozen pizza. ( Our waitress noted that the dough is made in house dailey). Just didn't hit the spot for me. The wings on the other hand...marvelous! I don't know if I'd say the best in Charlotte, but they were pretty good! Sadly when I got to the bottom of my wing baskey ( because I ate all of them), my very last wing had a rather large feather still attached. This rendered it inedible in my book. Overall great spot. I'll be going back for sure.

Text - I'm just not a fan. I came here once with my buddy and it was just plain messy. I do love to eat seafood and crawfish but clothes and hair smelled like fish after leaving that place.\nI'd rather go to my go to seafood place I've been going to for many years. Unfortunately, I will not be back!

Text - If you go, get the ribs!\nThe ribs are the best meat offered at RSBBQ.\nThe brisket was tender.  The chicken a little dry.  The on table BBQ sauce had a good flavor but was too watery and didn't stick well to the meat.\n\nMac & Cheese, Okra were good side to accompany the rib.\nGo for the ribs!

Considreing the above, classify the following: I am local and decided to spend NYE at the Rivera to see a concert. Big mistake. I purposefully hand picked two front row seats at $100 each and had the floor plan in front of me when I purchased them. I know NYE is big in town so I purchased tickets months in advance. There were 3 sections near the stage and I choose front row section 2 - dead center.  \n\nThe night of the show, I discovered the floor plan had changed. The three front sections had changed to six sections. Section 2 was up against the far wall of the auditorium. The two front row seats I chose were now moved way off to the side. I had a side view of huge speakers and literally could not see the stage at all from my seat.\n\nThe two other couples who sat next to me all agreed this was not the floor plan we choose seats for. All though we didn't know each other, all six of us went to talk to the box office manager together.   \nThe response to our concerned but polite inquiry? Too bad.\n\nAll 6 of us were shocked how callous the box office staff treated us. No apologies and no offers to move us. They told us floor moves happen all the time and we bought our tickets too far in advance and we should have waited. This made no sense to me at all. I planned this night well in advance and I am suffering the consequences for my careful planning? All of us agreed our NYE was ruined. \nI wrote a nice letter to the Director or Entertainment explaining the situation and I never heard a word back.\nWith all the hotels in town, it is no surprise the Rivera is probably last in terms of reputation and image and they well deserve to be. Never again.
