NoDa and Elizabeth, to me, are the two best true communities in the city.  In terms of an actual sense of place and community involvement.  I'm jealous of everyone that lives in both.  

The Elizabeth 8k is probably the best example of that community feel.  You'd swear you were in a small town, not the heart of a metro of 2.5m.

I think they are both great too... NoDa has a definite center though, not sure the center for Elizabeth... That impacts the sense of place to me.

One of the things I like about them. Concerned of too large a grocery retailer at Cresenct.

It's only 14.5k of space. Could only be an Indy, a Trader Joe's, an earth fare, a small Format fresh market or an Aldi.

So, confession guys. NoDa has always seemed a touch sketchy to me at night. Then again I will have lived away from Charlotte for 9 years this coming June. This weekend on my unexpected trip to Charlotte, I walked around NoDa and it was actually bustling with people, and very vibrant, I was so impressed. The neighborhood is such a gem, and I don't think that the light rail is going to ruin it. I think NoDa is one of the most special neighborhoods in the SouthEast, and the home/landowners in the area are so lucky to be part of its resurgence. 

Fortunately I live in NoDa, moved here in January after living uptown for 8 or so years. I love it.

Unfortunately you're accurate with still being a touch sketchy at night. Myself and two other friends were robbed at gun point last night on Yadkin ave. Point of reference... roughly two blocks from Cabo fish taco and 1 block over from North Davidson. 

I've honestly felt safe since moving here, but there's still room for growth and gentrification. Especially on the not so bustling weekdays.

Still love NoDa and it is a gem.

UPDATE: http://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/local-news/254133967-story - Hopefully this is just an isolated incident and a single person is behind it.

We LOVE it here and the BLE is only going to make it more of a destination. 

Now, about that parking situation

[11 HouseBZ]

Build a 5 story Public parking garage on the Y parking lot, fronting the street, keep enough space between it and the condos next door for a linear pocket park (call it mural alley), retail at the base continuing "the strip", roof top activity area/ park/ tennis courts/ basketball court/ etc. Give so many spots to the Y for use (maybe the whole first floor and some of the second) and everything else be public. How much money will it take for the Y to accept doing something like this? 

[archiham04]

Build this parking deck.

[SgtCampsalot]

Fans of late The Daily Press will be glad to hear that the owners will be opening a new permanent location in Salud's new space upstairs (formerly UpStage) this year.

Not clear on how the relationship/location relative to Fud will work, but very exciting. Some of the best quality product in the city hands down.

[KJHburg]

Crescent NoDa is looking good and I do like Mercury apartments too. Plus 2 industrial buildings on N Davidson north of Craighead going retail. There is a lot of potential in this area up to Sugar Creek Rd.

Is the Sherwin Williams in PM moving here? Seems like two this close together would be a little redundant.

I couldn't agree more.

Just wish I had bought more than a damn townhome for it

Either of these would be so perfect.  How large are the small format Publix?

At least two times that size and between you and me, and everyone on this board, and all the people lurking, I think they are going to be building a full size grocery on N. Tryon and the mid 30s, I just can't remember where exactly. I think its the Credit Doctor/Charlotte Motors site.

It doesn't really need connected specifically to steel gardens. There are sidewalk stairs coming down to Anderson St, then you just walk down Anderson. Yay street grid!

...also, yay brewery 1.5 minutes walking from me!

How's the walkability on Anderson?  Looks terrible on StreetView....from the railroad tracks to the brewery.

It's terrible in that there are no sidewalks from the ACRW tracks to Davidson. It's not so terrible in that Anderson is super wide and carries very little traffic. Bold Missy is the first real renovation and as such has shiny new sidewalks with nothing to connect to

[SgtCampsalot]

Fun new paint job on Salud's new upstairs facade (formerly UpStage's space) with their Piñata mascot team. 

Perfect timing catching Fud's owner leaving for the night.

Dusky updates. Anyone know what might be going on with the Salvador Deli space (construction permit photographed)?

Its being upfitted for a rooftop patio & a patio on the left side with roll up doors. 

[videtur quam contuor]

Is that a single stairway/access to the roof area? No other exit from upper level?

[nonillogical]

That plan looks great! Existing Salvador Deli mural remaining is fantastic news too. 

[tozmervo]

Really excited for the street-facing upgrade - its long overdue for that parking to go away. That alleyway is also going to turn into a really fun urban space!

I was walking by it last night and turned to a friend - "let me make a post, I'll know the answer in a few hours"
