Shopping
Super cute shopping area with lots of history. Many shops and places to eat and just fun to walk around and enjoy. Good place to get out of the cold in the winter for a few minutes and to cut through to get back onto Tryon from the park. Also has some bonus features like pictures of historic Uptown Charlotte that are really neat to look at.
