Throughout the middle of COVID they made it easy to phone in orders, have been really active on social media and even had curbside pickup! Now they're back open to a limited number of shoppers and continue to go above and beyond for their customers. Highly recommend if you're looking for a gift or something special for yourself.

While exploring the NoDa area, I stumbled upon Blank Generation, and the moment I saw the word…read more"bookstore", I had to stop in! Total book nerd move, no regrets. This is a used bookstore with so much more to offer. Beyond books, they also carry unique knick-knacks like vintage clothing, arts, journals, and other thoughtfully curated items. The overall vibe is very bohemian and relaxing, the kind of place you can wander through and instantly feel at ease. As expected with a used bookstore, there's that classic old-book/thrift store scent, which comes with the territory and adds to the charm. The space itself is quaint, organized, and really cute. The bookstore section was my favorite, such a great selection across genres including mystery, romance, banned books, crime, and more. Truly something for everyone. I ended up purchasing two books, both reasonably priced and in great condition, which made the find even sweeter. The employee working that day was super friendly and helpful, answering my questions not only about the books but also about the surrounding area, which I really appreciated. I loved my time here and will absolutely be back to explore more books and browse the other unique items. If you're in NoDa and love bookstores with character, this spot is a must-visit.

They offer a variety of shops including Loft, Banana Republic, Soft Surroundings, and more. There are also larger stores across the parking lot including Target, Marshalls, Home Goods, Off Broadway Shoes, etc. The restaurants are mostly fast casual like Shake Shack burgers, Brixx pizza, and Chopt salads. The area is beautiful and the grounds are well-maintained.

Let me tell you, there are not a lot of family friendly activities you can do in the Charlotte area for just $8 per person! They sell some refreshments including about 4 beers on tap, a few other beers that you can buy in a bottle, sweet tea, water, candy, goldfish crackers, etc. You can go upstairs to the food court and purchase food (we got Thai food, fries, etc.) and bring it down and eat it for $3 per person. They have over a thousand board games including unique ones that were made when different shows or movies were popular (Jaws, Golden Girls, etc.). Some of them were hilarious with their wacky directions - we had a lot of laughs over the complicated Back To The Future instructions. We ended the night with a palate cleanser game that was really simple and hilarious: Yeti In My Spaghetti (you pull out pieces of spaghetti and try not to be the one that drops the yeti). It was a great night! Fun for all ages!

You can find so many cute artistic components as you browse. This would be a perfect place to spend a sunny day browsing, dinning and having coffee. It's like a one stop shop for the day!

I didn't purchase anything but I'm assuming this shop gets decent foot traffic from those who just want to sit and have a nosh at Founder's Hall.

I was desperately looking for a copy of Charlotte Magazine as a friend of mine was voted as one of the Charlotteans of the Year (huzzah!). I walk in and ask if they have the magazine and they said no, bummer! I looked around and it looks as though they have about 5 different newspapers, the rest of the store is drinks, candy, and the same fare as you would expect from a sundries convenient store in a hotel or skyscraper. Newsstand, this is not. That being said, it must be very convenient for the people in the Bank of America Tower! The shopkeeper was friendly, but english was not her strong suit.
