In case you missed it: @monkeesofthepines Southern Pines location is moving down the street to 162 NW Broad Street, the former home of Mockingbird.
The move will take Monkee’s Southern Pines from 900 to 1,800 square feet, with a much more open floor plan.
Owner Veronica Loyd says it was tough to see Mockingbird leave broad but she is looking forward to redesigning the space.
She will be expanding her inventory on products Monkee’s is already known for, like denim, cocktail attire and shoes. The move won’t happen until this fall. Stay tuned.
Traveling south from Moore County you may pass The Marketplace at OTL (Off the Land) Farms, in the somewhat “no man’s land” between Aberdeen and Laurinburg. The store opened last August and is run by muscadine farmer Davon Goodwin with the help of his mother.
He stocks a variety of provisions from all over the state including eggs, cheese, pickles, veggies, sauces, meats and more. Plus ice cream and a muscadine slushy that is grape fun. See more in last night’s newsletter or on our website. 🍇
It’s been a lawn time coming. The “Come Sunday” jazz series at @weymouthcenternc kicked off for the season this past Sunday. The next one happens April 27. 🎶
Here’s the tea: The Whale Tea boba shop is in its soft opening phases this week. Brought to you by Red Bowl owner Jessica Lin, the shop will also have some dessert-like options like mochi donuts, cream puffs, macarons and cheesecakes. I like sweet stuff, it makes people happy. I want to make people happy,” says Jessica. You can expect to see @thewhaletea_southernpines fully open in April. Find it next to Five Guys on 15-501.🧋

Get caught sippin’. Downtown Aberdeen now has a social district.
What’s a social district, you ask? It’s a designated area in which you can stroll and shop while sipping bevvies purchased in a participating bar or restaurant. You’ll now see signage letting you know where drinking is allowed, during approved days and times: Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday 1-9 p.m.
