Switching gears a bit, anyone have any color as to what could be going in where MellowMush/Moondog's used to be? Also, any word on when things will truly get going at the Meck/Johnston Mills? I haven't been able to go to any of the Neighborhood meetings for a while due to some health issues

I just finished going thru the wikiplanning process, and i think it is a really great idea. I would encourage everyone to go check it out and participate. Our feedback could only help the process!

Hi There. Quick question about the Light Rail. Do we know if the Lynx is going to use the existing tracks that parallel N. Davidson? More specifically, as you are going down N.Davidson and you approach Craighead, will the Lynx use the tracks the currently run along-side of Davidson (ie will it replace the freight/occasional passenger trains that run on those tracks)? I know you mentioned the fly-over, but i can't quite visualize it. If that is the case, will the freight trains be re-routed to other tracks?

Hi All, long time reader, first time poster, and very happy to be here. My wife and I live in NoDa, and I have to say, in the last 6 mos or so, we have really noticed a change (for the better!) in the "liveliness" of our 'hood. So many more people are out and about, whether taking a jog, or walking their dogs and stuff, and not just on gallery crawl nights. In addition, the restaurants and bars seem to be filling up on nights other than friday and saturday I drive through the center of town every night to get home, and i have to respectfully disagree with the poster that mentioned the sleepy nightlife. Solstice seems to be doing really well all nights of the week, and the Evening Muse continues to thrive. Combine that with Cabo, The Dog Bar, Wine Up, Dolce Vita's success, and Mellow Mushroom among others, and i have to say that the nightlife in NoDa is among the top 3 or 4 of the charlotte neighborhoods. I could be looking at things through the proverbial rose colored glasses since we live here, but i really am seeing the development of the "lively arts district" that is so often mentioned!
