Carowinds is a amusement park, located adjacent to Interstate 77 on the border between North and South Carolina, in Charlotte and Fort Mill, respectively.

The park has a Halloween event called SCarowinds.

In word processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space (" ") (also called no-break space, non-breakable space (NBSP), hard space, or fixed space) is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position.

In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive whitespace characters from collapsing into a single space.
