About Us

Hi, I’m Miles Carter — and if you’ve somehow landed here, welcome to my corner of the internet: CityScoopNow.com.

I started this site because I’ve always been drawn to the in-between moments that define a neighborhood — a new shop opening where the old one stood, a long-time business shutting down with no fanfare, or a place so unexpectedly great you can’t help but tell someone about it.

Over the past 7 years, I’ve made a habit of noticing those things. CityScoopNow is where I share what I find — the openings that feel exciting, the closings that feel personal, and the places that leave an impression.

This site covers three things: businesses that just opened, ones that recently closed, and spots I’ve personally tried and think you should know about. Sometimes it’s a quirky bookstore. Sometimes it’s a local chain quietly leaving town. Sometimes it’s just a place I stumbled into and couldn’t stop thinking about.

Thanks for stopping by.
