What do 5-pound burritos and 50-year-old time capsules have in common?
47. Sing your heart out at Jeff's Bucket Shop.
Don't let the fact that you're descending into the unknown freak you out — a basement is the best place to belt out Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." The acoustics, or something like that. If you're afraid to have an audience, this dive bar isn't for you. Jeff's is so small, every single eyeball will be on you. Membership costs $1, and tips for the DJ may or may not help you get on stage quicker. 1601 Montford Drive. 704-525-0425. www.jeffsbucketshop.com.
48. Stay farmers market fresh — check out the one at Wedgewood Church.
A true community effort, this market came to be in 2013 when neighbors decided they wanted one nearby. Ask and ye shall receive. This year's Saturday market (happening 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) comes courtesy of the folks at Charlotte Regional Market and Atherton Food Hub Market. Local organics and decent prices, and even a community garden is in the works. 4800 Wedgewood Drive. www.wedgewoodchurch.com.
49. Celebrate the housing era of Eisenhower.
