I love coming here, and do so every single time I'm in Charlotte on a weekend night, which is often lately. Very appropriately named because this really is the epicenter of Charlotte. It's lively and fun and modern and futuristic and pretty amazing. The whole multi-level palace is filled with hot people and scandalously dressed people, especially on warm nights. I made some nice friends around here (of both genders, for a change). It is the heartbeat of downtown Charlotte and a very non-traditional party area. Sort of like a party area of the future. If a mall had an older, drinking crowd and was outdoors and full of clubwear then this would be it. For this reason we love walking around here, even though parking is extremely difficult here on Friday and Saturday nights, so be careful. We've actually parked illegally and gotten away with it on several occasions, but I wouldn't recommend that to others. Lots of cops around here so don't do anything stupid. The design means that if somebody crazy decided to commit suicide, or if there was a fist fight, then it would be very easy from the higher levels to plunge down a long, long way, and there's a lot of people wandering in the courtyard below, so that worries me a tiny bit, and what about the very very drunk people leaning against the railings with a 100 foot drop down onto concrete asphalt right below them. It does worry me slightly but it's still an absolutely wonderful place.

Since I love all things mall I definitely love the Overstreet Mall. This little mall consist of…read moreshopping, doctors offices, barber shops beauty salons and restaurants. It tucked inside a few of the large buildings downtown and connect them all on one level. Not sure where you would technically say is starts but for me It begins in the Wachovia building (I think it truthfully starts in the BB and T building but I can't leave these few shops out in the Wachovia building) and continues all the way to the Hearst Tower. I have visited a lot of the shops and the restaurant inside. It's an escape from the elements outside and a cool thing to see. However on the weekends it's a ghost town. The mall caters to the working/ business people downtown. On the weekends only the section in the Bank of America plaza is open and only Walgreens and the lobby of the Omni seem to be open. There is security walking around though. There are several different entrances and exits for the mall. You can walk towards other building in the area and there are tons of tunnels and walkways that connect you to different restaurants and shops in those building.

Went to "Overstreet Mall" last weekend (4/14) and it is that in name only. As with any and all…read moreshopping in Uptown Charlotte, it is long since dead and gone. The only thing open in this "mall" was a Walgreen's in the BofA building, none of the passageways were open nor did any of the nearby hotel employees even know they existed. Apparently all there is to do in Uptown is eat or drink, as there is a wealth of great restaurant and bar options, but there is no retail whatsoever. None. Really and truly sad because it's such a beautiful city, but unless you're looking for a bar or restaurant crawl, or to watch one of the local sports teams lose, you'll have to go elsewhere.

The Alley at Latta Arcade is one of Charlotte's most charming hidden gems and a wonderful reminder…read morethat every city has layers of history waiting to be discovered. Tucked behind an unassuming entrance on Tryon Street, this historic arcade transports you back to another era. Built in 1914 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the beautifully restored passageway connects Uptown's busy streets to a collection of locally owned restaurants, bars, and gathering spaces that feel both historic and modern. I love that the space encourages wandering. Take your time. Explore the storefronts. Grab a coffee, a cocktail, or a bite to eat. The skylit arcade, brick walkways, and European-inspired atmosphere make it feel unlike anywhere else in Charlotte. The real star here is the experience. You can stroll from Tryon Street through the arcade and emerge into Brevard Court, a lively courtyard filled with outdoor dining, people watching, and some of Uptown's most beloved local businesses. It feels intimate, walkable, and full of character. A word of advice: parking can be challenging. This is not a destination I'd recommend driving to unless you already have a plan. The best way to experience The Alley is on foot while exploring Uptown. Park in a nearby garage, take the light rail, hop on the streetcar, or make it part of a larger walking tour of the city. As someone still enjoying the process of discovering Charlotte, places like this make me appreciate the city's history and personality. It's compact, charming, and full of stories. Life is too short not to explore something new, Charlotte. Take a stroll through The Alley at Latta Arcade, slow down, and enjoy a piece of the city's history.

During Christmas they decorate very nicely, the village looks very festive great for an impromptu photo shoot possibly! I thoroughly enjoy walking around looking at all the decorations during the winter season! If you ever have time to visit the the Gateway Village you will not be disappointed.

Covered, in case of harsh weather, breezy, great sound for amplified music/speaking, and tons of space with power outlets everywhere. It's rather well-kept with tons of pretty green spaces, flowers, fountains, and art. Really dig this spot on the west side of Uptown.

I went to the Scan & Go checkout area and was told by the associate that the area was only for Spark drivers and that I had to get in the regular self-checkout line. There was literally no one waiting in the Scan & Go area, yet I still had to stand in the regular self-checkout line. At every other Walmart I've visited, I've been able to use the designated Scan & Go checkout with my Walmart+ membership alongside Spark drivers without an issue. If this location does not allow Walmart+ members to use that area, they need to make that policy clear. Otherwise, what is the benefit of using Scan & Go if I still have to wait in the same checkout line as everyone else? This completely defeats the convenience I'm paying for with Walmart+. Very disappointing experience, and I won't be choosing this location when I have other Walmart locations available.

Located at the intersection of Ashley Road and Wilkinson Blvd, this shopping center does have one…read moreentrance that crosses the busy Boulevard. If the traffic is thick, you'll want to make the turn onto Ashley where there are three entrances. The shopping center includes a bank, post office, pizza, Murphy USA gas station, wings, smoke shop, deli, medical offices, a pawn shop and my target today, the DMV license plate agency. The main anchor for this shopping center is the Walmart Supercenter. As such a big draw, you need to be particularly aware of your surroundings. Do not leave valuables in sight in your vehicle and be sure to lock the doors. CMPD patrols and they have a camera tower here occasionally.

Ground floor lobby and a second floor lobby, the latter has a Showmars and a bunch of tables for seating. It's quiet and reserved. Elevator to the 22nd floor was smooth and quiet. The ride back down was also fast and while it didn't stop suddenly, you knew from the extra weight on your knees that we're at the bottom now. I can't speak for any of the other floors but the 22nd is clean and tidy. Nicely lit, well carpeted and the doors to the offices look professional. If you're thinking of putting your corporate office here, you'll do well. [Review 20908 overall - 3508 in North Carolina - 1892 of 2023.]

Unfortunately, I was charged a fee to exit even though I didn't park. The attendant couldn't assist as he said the system was automated. He was very condescending and repeated himself over and over as if I was unable to understand him. He never offered a solution. I eventually paid the fee but called the manager. I got his voicemail and left a message requesting a call back. It's been 8 days and no call was received. I will never park in this deck again due to the bad customer service and I will tell all of my friends, social media contacts, and coworkers at a large uptown office to avoid this parking deck.

I grabbed a random Old Navy bag I had at the house that would fit all the toys; doesn't mean I'm trying to cheat someone.

I didn't see anything over $40, so it tells you a lot of the big ticket items are not here. And I'm ok with that because it appeared less cluttered. I visited on a early Friday afternoon. This location recently opened. I was surprised to see items already on Reduced/Clearance. And I got them! I came looking for items I needed for a new project. And I wasn't disappointed. Only downside is that it appeared not to have name brand clothing or perfume like Ross. I could be wrong but that's what I noticed. I did see some name brand shoes. There was a security guard in the store just like I've seen at other Ross stores. I overheard the cashier saying they are hiring on the spot. I will most definitely return because the closest Ross to my home is 9.5 miles away. This store is less than 6 miles away from my home.
