The Carolina Hurricanes are moving on to Round 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, making it to the Eastern Conference finals for the fifth time in franchise history. The Canes are two rounds away from securing their second Stanley Cup.

After a thrilling overtime performance in Round 2, Game 5 on Thursday, May 11, the Hurricanes took the best-of-seven series 4-1 over the New Jersey Devils at PNC Arena.

Our home team has made it to the postseason eight times in the past 21 years, appearing in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002 and 2006. The Canes have secured the cup once, in 2006 against the Edmonton Oilers.

Next up: After a staggering season plagued with injuries, the Canes will face the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in postseason history. The winner of the best-of-seven set will move on to the championship.

Get ready for the storm surge. Purchase tickets for Round 3.

Looking for somewhere to watch the game? Carolina Ale House is the official watch party headquarters for the Canes.

Here’s the thing: Talking about wealth and financial planning shouldn’t be hard — and with Richardson Private Wealth Advisors, it’s not.

We recently chatted with their team of advisors to get a better handle on how to start your financial planning journey no matter where you’re at in life. Read: You don’t have to be a millionaire to work with a financial planner.

What we tried:

With our own financial goal in mind, we had an in-person consultation with the Richardson Private Wealth Advisors team.

Based on your goal (think: planning for retirement, paying off debt, or saving for a house), they’ll set up a comprehensive, personalized plan to fit your needs.

Pro tip: It’s best to be honest when chatting with an advisor. Be prepared to talk about:
  • Your assets
  • Any debt
  • Factors that could impact your financial situation
It’s also important to remember that the stage of life you’re in will help shape your financial goals, but it’s never too late to start.*

Horseshoe, the first building in the works at Hub RTP, topped out last Friday, May 12.

The U-shaped trio of buildings by White Point broke ground in October 2022 and is slated for completion in 2024. The five-story building at its center will house offices over ground-floor retail, while the two adjacent buildings will have additional retail space.

Horseshoe’s first office tenant is cybersecurity startup Data443.

With features like splash pads, green spaces, trail connections, and public art, Horseshoe will function as a centralized meeting place within the district.

I spent Mother’s Day weekend in Charlotte. While walking my dog Tucker downtown, the Durham Bulls happened to be playing the Charlotte Knights. We cheered for them through the fence, I hope they heard us.
