The Piedmont Town Center (PTC) area is really nice. In addition to businesses and residences…read morelocated here, there are a good amount of restaurants, retail stores and other vendors. If you live or work here, you have multiple things at your doorstep. Restaurants such as Del Frisco's, BRIO, Peppervine and Bentley's (coming soon) are in the Center. Furniture and clothing stores, as well as massage and nail salons are here. There is also a gym available for your fitness needs. There are two big parking decks available. However, as with many decks, people have a tendency to fly around the corners on the levels. Can be a little frustrating. However, plenty of parking. Patron parking is on the first two levels, while tenant parking is 3 and above or gated if you live in the building. This is such a developed area and more residences, stores and facilities are coming soon. With SouthPark Mall across the street, it's a win to live, work or visit The Center!

Park in either the west or east structure for easy access to everything. They also offer valet for Brio, Georges and Del Frisco. All of the restaurants have great outdoor areas for the nice summer days and nights. During the holidays they light a Christmas tree in the center of the circle and decorate really nicely with lights on all the trees. It makes the courtyard very warm and inviting. Dining here: Brio (Italian), Georges (French), Del Frisco (Steak house), Taco Mac (Mexican-ish), Terrace Cafe (great breakfast and brunch items - best bloody mary ever), AZN Asian (Chinese) - there is also a wine bar, cigar bar, frozen yogurt place, hair salon, dry cleaner, YMCA and other corporate businesses (like scott trade and etrade). Best bars to hang out in are Del Frisco (for posh style and some celebrity sitings), Brio (for good priced small bites and reasoable wine by the glass.)

A collection of upscale restaurants and boutiques across Morrison Blvd from South Park. Probably…read moreclose to twenty businesses in there but I have only been to five. Southpark opened in 1970 and Specialty Shops Southpark dates from around 1979 but a lot of effort has gone into keeping it new and refreshing. Last fall when we made a day of shopping at Southpark (this was during Covid and mask mandates) Susan asked me to find a restaurant for lunch. Quick online search and I came up with Bricktop's. Didn't have reservations and a one hour wait so got on the wait list and one hour later were seated. Fantastic lunch with great menu and we've been back several times since then (review for Bricktop's is posted separately) Williams and Somona is also a favorite and have been several times over the years but when I do shop for something at Williams and Sonoma, it is generally at the Birkdale location in Huntersville since it is so much closer. I've been a fan of Sharon Luggage dating back to the 1970's at another location before they were her. A great place for travel accessories, wallets. personalized gifts etc. Two other places here are Renaissance Patisserie which is a small French Bakery with great cakes, cookies and other pasteries and Paco's Tacos and Tequila, one of the best Mexican Restaurants in the Charlotte area.

We moved from the Richmond, VA area less than a year ago so we're still discovering all the places. My husband and I are GenX, so we are the Mall Rat generation - lost in a sea of the hot trend of "Town Centers", so we always check out malls to try to find ones that aren't on their last leg; filled with one-off trinket shops. We were in awe of this mall! It is full, it's big, it's lively, and it's got an awesome food court! It's like we stepped into a time warp and landed in the '90's; we felt like teenagers again! All the good stores are in here. The only thing I didn't see - and I may have just missed it - was a music store. I miss the old days of going and listening to new albums on headphones and talking to people as we dig through the CD racks. I got some of my best music recommendations that way. And with the resurgence of vinyl, that mall really would be a prime spot for a record store! If anyone ever decides to build a nursing home for us GenXers, just use this mall. All you have to do is take out the Southern Lion and put little rooms in there. You don't have to change anything else! 'Cause let's face it - we're not gonna go easy, so there better be a Spencer's and a Cinnabon wherever the youngin's put us.

While technology can be a wonderful it is also has casualties which is a shame for the current and…read morefuture children. I mean does any over 40 remember growing up to one of the best experiences of their childhood called a MALL? I do and sadly those days are slowly yielding way to Ecommerce, outdoor shopping centers designed for ease of access and speed, and new societal norms. Located in a safe area off of I-485 Carolina Place is a very nice place to take the family while shopping for all those modern needs or even for us older folks, a step back in memory lane. I mean gone are Radio Shack, Merry-Go-Round, Aladdin's Castle, KB Toys and Suncoast to name a few replaced by empty units or some places that have been able to maintain their leases like Belk (for those southern folks), Gamestop, Dicks and well you get the point. The main take away is I feel is the place is safe and has great natural light. I took my daughters and got their bathing suits at a place that will remain nameless one for $80 the other $60, but alas the discount brought both to $50 total. I'm ignorant of pricing at retail stores and how it works during the season but that was just weird to me. We wondered around, picked up some Auntie Anne's pretzel bites (our favorite) to nibble on while I took them to several stores which they loved including Hot Topic and Claire's. I really like the layout here, wide open. My favorite place to take my girls is the food court. We saw a huge line and while I hoped it was for multiple restaurants, nope I knew what it was for. Sarku had over 30 people in line while all the other stalls had one or two customers. All in all it took us roughly 20 mins to get our food. I'm curious what would happen if I dropped another Sarku in the food court? Anyways, they were SLOW but as always really good. So, when you're there I highly suggest Double Chicken Teriyaki w/ fried rice along with an extra scoop of sauce on the top. The chicken is nice and caramelized with a nice soy kick and fried rice, need I say more? All in all, I still cherish the mall and Carolina Place is holding up the tradition! While I wish all the units were filled, such as life these days. If you'd like to make a day of fun activities with the kids, I think you should consider stopping by, just make sure you hit the food court while doing your shopping!

Currently managed by Foundry Commercial, this venerable shopping center has the southwest corner of…read morethe intersection of Fairview and Sharon Road. It is opposite the SouthPark Mall and is in one of the ritziest sections of Charlotte. A variety of sit down, quick casual and fancy restaurants that include Baoding, Moe's Southwest Grill, Original Pancake House, McDonald's, Jersey Mike's and others. Shopping here has Homegoods, Men's Wearhouse, Destination Maternity and more. There is a gas station as well. There is easy access from both sides but if you're hoping to get onto Fairview east or Sharon north, you're going to have some trouble. This is a very busy intersection and you will have significant difficulty crossing Fairview to get to the two left-turn lanes. Please use care. The parking lot here is very narrow and there's enough space if it's not terribly busy. Note that some folks drive through here way too fast. A few speed bumps would definitely be helpful near McDonald's. [Review 12875 overall, 191 of 2020.]

I recently visited this Nordstrom Rack location after moving to Charlotte, and overall, it was a…read moresolid experience. Nordstrom Rack has always been one of my favorite places to shop. I used to work at a full line Nordstrom years ago, so I know quality when I see it. That's why I love the Rack because you can always expect good brands at better prices than you'd find at the full line store. To some people, Nordstrom Rack still feels a little pricey for a discount store, but you really have to compare it to the original full line price tags. I live in the NoDa area, and I will say this location was a bit farther out than I expected, about 25 minutes from my house. I was honestly surprised that there isn't a Nordstrom Rack closer to the city. This one is more on the outskirts, which is fine, but it does make quick trips or exchanges a little less convenient. Yes, you can return items at the full line Nordstrom, but sometimes you just want to browse and see what's new. Parking here was easy, and the store itself was clean and well organized. Coming from Houston and then Florida, I wasn't used to seeing so many coats in stock, so that actually caught my attention. They had a big winter selection, and I ended up leaving with a super cute trench coat, a puffer jacket, and a couple of other cold weather pieces since I know Charlotte winters are going to be colder. The staff was about as friendly as you'd expect at a Nordstrom Rack, but they moved quickly, and the checkout line wasn't long. Overall, this location was consistent with the other Nordstrom Racks I've been to. No surprises, just the usual dependable Rack experience. I'd definitely return.
