You Can Add Starbucks To Your Drive Up Target Order In North Carolina
This is some of the best news I’ve heard all day. I love Target. I love getting a Starbucks drink and browsing the aisles and letting Target tell me what I need. But my wallet doesn’t love it. And somehow a trip to get one or two things will rarely end for less than $75 or $100. So when I just need one or two quick things I have recently started opting for the drive-up option. That way I get what I want, and don’t leave with other things I don’t. (Self-control is not my best quality). Plus if you’ve ever tried to find a parking place in the Metropolitan Target deck? You’d sacrifice the Starbucks do drive up too!
But the one thing I haven’t been able to get while doing my drive-up order? That Starbucks fix. But now getting what you need from Target and grabbing your daily latte has become more accessible. This week, Target Corporation announced that you can add items from the Starbucks menu and deliver them when you shop with the Drive-Up service. The decision to add Starbucks to the service was based on the success of a pilot program—a test run. Target’s new Drive Up addition should be in all Target stores with a Starbucks cafe by the end of October.
Yes, please! While there wasn’t much good to come out of Covid the one thing I do love is mobile ordering and curbside pickup. And this now gives Starbucks the first, to my knowledge, way to get that curbside service. You can bet I’ll be giving this a try. And October is right in time for those Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Yes, I’m basic but when they are good they are good! Fall can’t come soon enough!
Travel Experts Say This Is The Most Picturesque Small Town in North Carolina
North Carolina is home to some incredible small towns. From the mountains to the coast and everywhere in between. With so many spots, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Especially when each has something unique to offer. Many are gorgeous, and while we know that it’s nice to see others recognize that beauty. The travel experts over at North Carolina Travel Guides recently ranked the most picturesque small towns in the country. And they include 6 North Carolina towns on the list. But what is the most picturesque small town in North Carolina?
Their team worked to find the 120 most picturesque small towns in America. These towns are the ones that are “an absolute must-see and that one shouldn’t miss out on this summer.” So how exactly did they do this? North Carolina Travel Guides travel experts compared 500 small towns to create this list of 120. Metrics used to determine the most picturesque included search trends, popularity with photographers, and popularity for photography with the general public. And I know what you’re thinking. If this was commissioned by North Carolina travel experts they were probably biased. Right? Wrong. The top towns are not in NC. In fact, while North and South Carolina each had 6 towns included in the 120, the SC ones ranked significantly higher.
One South Carolina town ranked number 6, another 11th, and a third 23rd. The highest ranking NC town? It was 50th. So no bias here! Towns in both Carolinas are spread between all areas of the states. So whether you are looking for a quiet spot for a weekend getaway, a weeklong vacation, or a place to relocate you’ll want to read this list. Below you’ll find the top-ranked picturesque small town and towns in North Carolina followed by those in South Carolina. You can read the North Carolina Travel Guides article here.
