Returning to Uptown for the first time in about a year and a half, it struck me that Dan Levine has ruined First Ward. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Per their Instagram feed, Mattie's Diner started construction at their new location today. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

It is part of the overall street and pedestrian improvements. I don't have specifics, but like the rest of the project on The Plaza, I'll defer any judgement until it is completed. That intersection specifically is really bad for cars and people. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I recently noticed that the "Coming Soon" sign is no longer at the Tire Depot. I hope that this isn't an indication that the project isn't moving forward, but given the impacts of the pandemic, it wouldn't totally surprise me. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Per their Instagram feed, 15 days until Petty Theives Brewing opens in North End. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Tried the Resident Culture Imperial Stout. Very good. The cans are good for sharing at 16.9 fl oz and 10% ABV. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Not sure if anyone has said this already, but this reminds me of the Jawa Sand Crawler from Star Wars. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I've noticed that there is some work going on at the old Carphonics shopping center on The Plaza. Rebranded as Plaza Hills Shopping Center, or something like that. All of the old facade and awnings have been removed. It also appears that some vandalism has occurred at one of the stores, but does not appear to be moving at full speed. Anyone have any additional info on this? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Mattie's Diner coming back! To reopen at the old tire place at 3100 The Plaza! This is awesome news! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Is this a tip on a possible location for a new stadium in the future? Charlotte Town FC playing matches on Charlottetowne Ave? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Not sure of any fan related updates, but some specific items I've seen mentioned is adding a central tunnel for teams to use (as opposed to the corner ones used in football) and adding camera bays for shots specific to football, I mean soccer. Also, the clock will need to be programmed to count up to 45, rather than count down from 15. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Seeing stories now that the deal is signed by City Council and as part of the deal, Eastland will be the site for the team Headquarters. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Is it feasible for Charlotte to create a "Soccer District" that is anchored by a proposed Team Headquarters at the former Eastland Mall site? What could be done here other than the building of a Headquarter facility? How could the city work with Tepper to revitalize this location while integrating into the existing neighborhoods and residents? Also, I'm naming the new area SoDi. You're welcome.
