Youth Sports in South Charlotte - Matthews Athletic and Recreation Association (MARA) Youth sports are alive in well in South Charlotte, and it doesn't get much better than at the Matthews Athletic and Recreation Association (MARA), located in the heart of Matthews NC.  Since 1956, MARA has been offering a wide variety of sports opportunities for children, including baseball, softball, football, basketball, lacrosse, and cheerleading.   Just driving by the MARA athletic fields fills me with nostalgia, as all of my children participated in sports there.  They've all grown and moved on, but we have MANY fond memories of spring, summer and fall days spent at the Matthews Athletic and Recreation Association.  My son Ben played baseball there, from T-ball through Babe Ruth baseball, and my s...

Kick n’ Stitch Broom Shop Opens in Matthews NC The small historic building called the Renfrow Hardware Annex in downtown Matthews NC now houses a shop called the Kick n’ Stitch.  Mark Hernig, the proprietor, makes corn brooms on antique broom-making machines in the shop. Mr. Hernig learned his trade from a Mennonite broom maker and has been making and selling authentic corn brooms for thirteen years. When I stopped by the shop today, Mr. Hernig was explaining the broom making process and demonstrating his craft to onlookers. The name of the shop comes from the two steps in the process: attaching broomcorn to the handle and stitching the broomcorn together. A winding machine with a foot treadle, called a kicker, is used to attach the broomcorn to the handle with wire. Then the broomcorn ...
