From the Agenda this morning South End’s Gold District is getting a bodega The bodega will be called Max & Lola’s. Owners Holly Rodriguez and Minh Lai named the place after their two rescue dogs, and it will have the laid-back vibe of a place you can bring your dog. They plan to stock things like eggs and milk from local farmers, jellies, jams, chips, snacks, meats, cheeses, beer and wine. There will also be a bar with 12 beers and prosecco on tap. https://www.charlotteagenda.com/95384/south-ends-gold-district-getting-bodega/

I saw on the business journal that it was listed as a public hearing. Is there first a public hearing, and then a vote? http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2017/06/16/topgolf-vote-delayed-other-projects-on-the-table.html Sorry for dumb question.

Pretty excited about this - anyone have any hints on the location? Agenda hints at NoDa Asheville’s popular White Duck Taco Shop is coming to Charlotte http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/whats-in-store/article155799949.html

From what I heard Regions agreed to take the lower floors in exchange for signage opportunity. Frees up the top floors for a premium.

It sure is. Was a Tuesday morning after that (and who could forget the "Yellow rose") they kept the Riccios and the karate place. I'm super impressed by the way the building looks. Worth the drive through there for sure.

Some updated photos of this building....sorry couldn't find a Highway 51 thread :-\

Agree 1,000%. I live along the route and was able to people watch. The number of people all walking/biking/pushing strollers was staggering.

I was shocked at how popular Sunday's open streets festival in plaza/elizabeth was. Tons and tons and tons of people.
