Noble Smoke is looking to soft open shortly after July 4th. Some more details below. This place is going to be absolutely massive. Hoping it becomes a destination, otherwise it'll feel awfully lonely in such a big space!! When Noble Smoke opens in July, meats will be smoked in a few different ways: An 1,800-square-foot smokehouse with eight wood-fired smokers; six smokers made of steel — Texas-style; and two traditional North Carolina masonry barbecue pits. The restaurant will have a dining room and bar with seating for more than 200, an event space with capacity of 80 to 120 guests, a designated pickup area for to-go meals, a biergarten with seating for another 200 guests and its own brewery space.

Charlotte Hornets and the Arena
DCtransplant replied to Raintree21's topic in Charlotte Coffee House
I've been reading a lot about Rui Hachimura from Gonzaga being a likely candidate. Would certainly bring some jersey sales and Japanese attention to the Hornets which couldn't hurt. -
Another bar/restaurant bites the dust

Probably the only 2016 rezoning application that is still open... But at least there are signs of life!

Westside/Beatties Ford/Biddleville/West End Projects
DCtransplant replied to ElricSeven's topic in Charlotte
More townhomes proposed in Seversville right by Savona Mill but different developer. 44 units. This is on top of 3 other communities and many other infills. -
Agree with you on Elizabeth Creamery and Golden Cow - not as good as Jeni's. As for local, my favorite is Two Scoops. Give that a whirl if you're looking for more local shops to compare.

I did see a targeted ad on a website today that said something like "Google Fiber - As certain as downtown is called Uptown". Seems like they're making some sort of reinvestment.

The new Community Matters Cafe from the Charlotte Rescue Mission over near the Panthers practice facility. Turned out really nice. Assume it opens soon.

FreeMore Projects (West Morehead, Freedom Drive, Bryant Park)
DCtransplant replied to cooperdawg's topic in Charlotte
A lot of dirt moving on Morehead for the new garden apartments with a view. Also backside of the new apartments that front Wilkinson -
I always felt that Martin Luther King Park was severely underutilized considering it's connected to the Greenway to uptown, Seversville Park, Frazier Park and an easy walk/jog/bike from uptown. It's 29 acres without adding in Seversville (11 acres) or Frazier Park (12 acres).

Community rezoning meeting was last Wednesday. Well attended and no opposition. New expected date for official rezoning with city council is February or March. Seems they've had a lot of back and forth based on traffic study.

Seems like Savona Mill redevelopment isn't dead yet. Community meeting tonight with the owner and K&L Gates. Hoping to have rezoning complete by December. Just signed on Viva Raw as a tenant to move all of their production and a storefront to the site. Talk of event venues as well, but nothing solid - had some conceptual artwork from cluck design but I wasnt quick enough to get a picture. Also actively working with ncdot and CSX for the right of way for the Lakewood trolley. They've got the no. 85 car in storage and it looks in great shape. Have 3 other old trolleys as well that are in need of some serious restoration work. Everything moving slower than everyone would like, but the owner has accumulated all 23 acres and seems to be in it for the long haul.

I think they also do a pretty good business through canning and distribution - I know I've seen their beers the last time i was in Charleston. I think they can 5 beers last i checked. I do worry when Town Brewing opens in Wesley Heights if that will siphon off tap room business from Blue Blaze.

FreeMore Projects (West Morehead, Freedom Drive, Bryant Park)
DCtransplant replied to cooperdawg's topic in Charlotte
^^ Thanks and good to know. Didn't realize there were separate projects. -
I worry for Blue Blaze once Town Brewing opens up next to Rhino Market. Maybe they expect to lose some of the neighborhood tap room sales and realize that investment in distro is the best way to go? All conjecture, but that would be my thought. Lack of movement on Savona Mill and Lakewood Trolley hasn't helped them either.

FreeMore Projects (West Morehead, Freedom Drive, Bryant Park)
DCtransplant replied to cooperdawg's topic in Charlotte
Starting to go vertical on the Wilkinson/W Morehead apartments. In my opinion this will be a very interesting project for the corridor - Camp Greene behind it is coming along, but living right on Wilkinson a healthy walk from FreeMoreWest and Uptown could be a tough sell depending the price point.
