Massive pickleball and gaming facility opening soon at Camp North End
Tipsy Pickle, a new food-meets-sport space with six pickleball courts, opens Saturday, Feb. 22, at Camp North End.
Why it matters: Charlotte, like much of the nation, is working to keep up with the demand for pickleball courts. Plus, there's a growing appetite for places to play, hang out and grab a bite or a drink, too.
What to expect: Tipsy Pickle's 35,000-square-foot space holds more than 930 people total (roughly 150 outside) across its two floors. It includes:
Six pickleball courts — four indoor and two outdoor.
Two TrackMan golf simulators on the second level.
Three bars — two indoor and one outdoor.
31 TVs.
Four pool tables.
Seven classic arcade games.
Shuffleboard.
Darts
A private event space.
Dig in: The Tex-Mex-inspired menu has everything from tacos, quesadillas, and burritos to burgers, wraps, and pizza. Plus, nachos, guacamole and queso, of course.
There are also vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus a kid's menu.
Drinks include Giddy Goat coffee, cocktails on draft, beer and wine.
How it works: You can book a court two weeks in advance.
A pickleball court reservation costs $20 per hour Monday-Friday from 7am-5pm. It costs $40 per hour Monday-Friday from 5pm until close and all day Saturday and Sunday. You can bring your own paddles and balls or rent one for $5 per paddle (your rental includes pickleballs). You can also buy a paddle (prices vary). A court reservation accommodates eight people. Reach out to their events team if you have a larger party.
A golf simulator reservation costs $45 per hour Monday-Friday from 7am-5pm. It costs $65 per hour Monday-Friday from 5pm until close and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Pool tables cost $15 per hour. Shuffleboard, darts and arcade games are free.
Context: This is the first collaboration for Charlotte entrepreneurs Mike Salzarulo, the co-founder of Protagonist, and Tanner Brooks, the co-founder of Hopp.
The growth of pickleball's recreational side appealed to Brooks and Salzarulo, the co-owners told Axios in a 2024 interview.
Stop by: Tipsy Pickle is at 201 Camp Road.
It's open Monday-Thursday 7am until 10pm, Friday-Saturday 7am until 11pm and Sunday 7am until 9pm.

Emerald Cut Engagement Rings for Art Deco Enthusiasts
Rose gold emerald cut engagement ring are a dream come true for lovers of Art Deco design. With their bold lines, geometric form, and timeless sophistication, these rings capture the spirit of the 1920s—a period defined by glamour, innovation, and a strong architectural aesthetic. At KRK Jewels, we celebrate the enduring charm of this design era with emerald cut rings that echo the elegance of a bygone age while remaining effortlessly modern. The emerald cut's clean lines and step-cut facets are at the heart of what makes it so well-suited to Art Deco inspiration. This style favors symmetry, structure, and minimal embellishment—making the emerald cut an ideal canvas for showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and balanced design. Where brilliant cuts dazzle with fire, emerald cuts glow with refined flashes of light, mirroring the angular precision and cool restraint that defined Art Deco jewelry. These rings often feature bold settings and geometric flourishes that celebrate the cut's architectural beauty. At KRK Jewels, we offer a curated selection of emerald cut engagement rings that pay homage to the Art Deco period with thoughtful details and vintage flair: Add an angular halo of baguette or round diamonds around the center emerald cut for a dramatic, Gatsby-worthy effect. The sharp lines and symmetry echo Art Deco elegance while adding a halo of brilliance. Tapered baguette or bullet-shaped diamonds on either side of the center stone are iconic Art Deco elements. These side stones elongate the design and emphasize the emerald cut's sleek geometry. Vintage-style metalwork, such as filigree patterns or milgrain edges, adds texture and antique charm to a setting. These details can be subtle or ornate, depending on your personal style. Step-down or tiered bands reflect the skyscraper-inspired motifs of the Art Deco movement. Paired with an emerald cut, they create a unified design that feels both historical and forward-thinking. Art Deco rings often feature platinum or white gold to highlight the clean lines and sparkle of the diamonds. These cool-toned metals complement the icy brilliance of an emerald cut and keep the aesthetic crisp and timeless. For a warmer, romantic take, rose gold offers a vintage twist with modern charm. Art Deco-inspired emerald cut rings are more than just jewelry—they're heirloom-quality pieces with personality and soul. Whether you're drawn to the symmetry, the history, or the subtle glamour, these rings are perfect for brides who appreciate beauty with depth and detail. For Art Deco enthusiasts, emerald cut engagement rings offer the perfect blend of vintage sophistication and timeless appeal. At KRK Jewels, we honor this classic design language by crafting rings that reflect the bold elegance of the 1920s with a modern sensibility. Step into your forever with a ring that's not only stunning—but steeped in history, architecture, and artistic brilliance. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

The fiery red designs contrast with the pink and blue base, adding a touch of flair (ahem, flare) to the manicure. Cat-eye nail designs have become popular in every shade and design, including these muted colors. Apply a cat-eye magnetic gel polish, then create the swirls by hovering a magnet above the nails in a circular motion. There's something alien-esque about these pink nails with silver chrome detailing. If you're not a pink person, use any other color for your base (just make sure the silver will still pop!). Jelly nails for summer? Yes please. Paint them a Barbie pink color for ultimate summer vibes. Read the original article on Byrdie

Ed Jovanovski lists a Florida home he developed for $14.99M
Retired Canadian hockey star Ed 'Jovo Cop' Jovanovski is still scoring off the ice — as a Florida real estate developer. The former NHL defenseman for teams including the Florida Panthers — who is also now the team's sports analyst — is re-listing a Boca Raton waterfront estate that he developed for $14.99 million, Gimme Shelter has learned. The gated residence, at 989 Marble Way, first hit the market last year, asking $17.9 million. The modern, new-construction property comes with direct access to the Intracoastal, and it's within walking distance to the beach. 11 Ed Jovanovski during his Phoenix Coyotes days.

He purchased that home with his wife Kristin for $5.2 million in 2011, according to reports. Jovanovski's current Marble Way listing, known as the Marble Palm Estate, comes with 120 feet on the water, and it's less than a mile from the Boca Raton resort. Built in a modern British West Indies-inspired style, the lofty lair is a roomy 7,677 square feet. It was designed by Brenner Architects, built by National Custom Homes and sits on a third of an acre.
