A collection of upscale restaurants and boutiques across Morrison Blvd from South Park. Probably…read moreclose to twenty businesses in there but I have only been to five. Southpark opened in 1970 and Specialty Shops Southpark dates from around 1979 but a lot of effort has gone into keeping it new and refreshing. Last fall when we made a day of shopping at Southpark (this was during Covid and mask mandates) Susan asked me to find a restaurant for lunch. Quick online search and I came up with Bricktop's. Didn't have reservations and a one hour wait so got on the wait list and one hour later were seated. Fantastic lunch with great menu and we've been back several times since then (review for Bricktop's is posted separately) Williams and Somona is also a favorite and have been several times over the years but when I do shop for something at Williams and Sonoma, it is generally at the Birkdale location in Huntersville since it is so much closer. I've been a fan of Sharon Luggage dating back to the 1970's at another location before they were her. A great place for travel accessories, wallets. personalized gifts etc. Two other places here are Renaissance Patisserie which is a small French Bakery with great cakes, cookies and other pasteries and Paco's Tacos and Tequila, one of the best Mexican Restaurants in the Charlotte area.

WOW! This new location is amazing!!! I was so excited to check it out and I was so impressed. It…read morefeels so much bigger than the Camp North End location. They have sooooo much great stuff too, just like the OG location. Thrift Pony really doesn't miss. So much variety and so inclusive for all body types. I love that they have the rolling shopping bins, that is so helpful and needed. I found so much fun stuff this trip. I cannot wait to go back. They have plenty of fitting rooms and super friendly staff working there. You can also sell clothes to them which is cool. I will say parking is a beast, so be prepared before you go. It's a small lot but I licked up and found one right in front. Just be mindful. It's South End, so its normal. Not their fault, just be prepared. I LOVE it here!!!!

My granddaughters and I went to Mike D's Antiques and Estates in Gastonia on 321. The owners were extremely rude and racist. They followed us around the store, talking down to us. He began to talk about how one of the booth owners was moving to England and proceeded to make a horrible comment about Mexicans. My granddaughter calmly told him that it was offensive and she did not appreciate it because she is Mexican. He said "I know", got defensive and continued to make racist comments. They then told us to leave and not come back. They are very nasty people. Would not recommend.

I remember when this old church caught fire years ago. I think I was in middle school... The story…read moreI heard was that several homeless people lit a fire in the then empty church to stay warm. They lost control of the fire and the church almost burnt to the ground. The empty, hollowed out skeleton of the church sat abandoned for years. Eventually, the McColl Center came along to bring this gorgeous building back to life! Now, it hosts art exhibits created by visiting artists from all over the world. Most recently, I visited Leah Rosenberg's Color for the People exhibit. It is fun, interactive, vibrant, and of course, full of color! I also enjoyed Nelson Morales' photography. The Fall 2017 residency ends this week and while I'm sad to see the latest class go, I'm excited to meet the next batch of artists to bring their gifts to Charlotte! The next time you're uptown and looking for something to do, I encourage you to visit McColl! Admission is free (with a suggested donation of $5) and they're open Tuesday through Saturday. If you're lucky enough to catch an artist working with their door open, you're encouraged to go into their office/studio and say hello. It's a great chance to meet the artist and learn more about their work!

Live close to this store and have tried to use it when I can to support the local economy, but…read moreafter today I am 100% done with this store. I went in the other day to purchase a hole saw and arbor that I needed for a job. True Value did not have the size I needed (pretty typical, as their inventory seems to be perpetually low). So I bought the next size down, thinking I might make it work. $50. As it turned out, I never used it. Never opened it or even took it out of the truck. Went back to return the items today and got $40 back. I was told there was a 20% restocking fee on all returned items. $10 charge for something that would take 10 seconds to put back on the shelf. I never heard of such a thing. Complete rip off. They will not get another cent from me.
