I'm flabbergasted by your tale. The nerve of them--"no soldiers allowed." However, I do remember when the Lincoln Air Force Base was open (Lincoln, NE) and most girls from the civilian community had reservations about dating military men. I guess it was assumed that they would not feel the constraints to be gentlemen that home town boys would feel (as if that was really a stopper when the urge takes over).
A new magazine called CharlotteTaste talked about the increased sophistication of dining in Charlotte. It profiled four French bistro-type restaurants including the two where I dined last weekend. It said chefs in Charlotte can now serve dishes such as sweetbreads that never would have been accepted twenty years ago.
