About the publication
Editorial standards.
What we publish, how we check it, and what we will never make up.
- Sources first
- Places and events come from official business sites, the Town of Davidson, Davidson College, park operators, the library and organizers. Each record stores its sources and last verified date.
- No invented details
- We do not invent experiences, reviews, ratings, awards, hours, menu items, prices, accessibility features, public access, school assignments or travel times. If we could not confirm it, it is not shown.
- Researched, not reviewed
- Place profiles are researched from public sources. We do not imply a meal, visit or interview took place unless the page says so.
- Geography, precisely
- Each place lists its actual town. Nearby Cornelius, Huntersville and Mooresville destinations are labeled as nearby. A mailing address or ZIP code does not prove town limits, county jurisdiction or school assignment.
- Lake access
- Private docks and neighborhood shorelines are not public. Proximity to water does not permit swimming or launching. We list only public access points confirmed by their operator.
- Events
- Only events confirmed on an official calendar appear with dates. Annual traditions are shown without dates until the organizer confirms them. Past events leave upcoming lists automatically.
- Independence and disclosure
- This publication is independent and not affiliated with Davidson College, the Town of Davidson, or the businesses it covers. It is published by Nicholas and Miriam Peters, whose own businesses are always labeled as publisher-affiliated.
- AI use
- AI may assist with drafting and the optional personal guide. Personal guides are limited to our published records, and drafts are reviewed against sources before publication.
- Imagery
- Some images on the site are AI-generated editorial illustrations. They are not documentary photographs of specific businesses, campus buildings, parks or events.
- Corrections
- Spotted something out of date? Report it and we will re-verify the record.
