NoDa (N Davidson St Arts District) Projects

[videtur quam contuor]

Chadbourn, né Larkwood hosiery, was built 1932 so that explains why it has a modern look rather than the crenellated, all brick classic mills of the late 19th and early 20th century. 

Nebel Mill was five years earlier and displays a transitional style between the classic and the Chadbourn.

National Hosiery Manufacturers Association was HQ in Charlotte for many years. It disbanded due to many issues. Still many hosiery mills in the U. S.

Sunshine Daydreams is sadly vacating, opening up a prime spot in the heart of Noda. Meanwhile "Bargarita" (barf) next door has been 'coming soon' for nine months.

This is the most horrible thing I have heard this week. NoDa could become a cross of the worst parts of the French Quarter and Carowinds.

Ive always thought sunshine daydreams was a very under utilized spot. I’ve lived in NoDa for the last 8 months and I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever seen anyone go in or come out.

That's because we would always slither in when nobody was looking

This is sad news, but purely on principle rather

Mangoes also seems to have closed. Building has been painted and has had work going on inside.

The Amaze apartments at the now dead end Craighead Rd since the railroad closing is closed.  I'm amazed they built them here and once it is connected to the Herrin Coal and Ice property it will become more apart of NoDa.   Continually amazed at the development along the LYNX extension.  Chadbourn Mill is looking great!   Today 

I like the Amaze apartment colors.  The orange is the new beige.

I feel the same way. It's good to have one to walk to, but High Life on Hawthorne/Central is just so much better.

Now that you mention it, Sunshine Daydreams had a TON of art, decor, clothing, etc, whereas High Life has a huge assortment of paraphernalia and just product generally involved with consumption. I wonder how much that made a difference.

I just saw that the recently-rezoned large vacant lot next to the two houses at 36th and McDowell now has a brand new for-sale sign up. Does that indicate that the mixed use project slated for here was fallen through?

New restaurant going in where Mangos was. Doesn’t seem like a big difference in concept, but I’m rooting for them 

[tozmervo]

I legitimately couldn't tell you if Mangoes ever actually opened. Did it?

Yes. We went once and couldn't get anyone to take our order. Went to Haberdish instead.

Yes it officially opened but never seemed like anyone was in there.. They took a weird spin and kept pushing for Saturday day parties to get people to come in to party at "Henny Island".  Also I'm fairly certain Roy is the name of the owner of Mangoes so I'm not even sure this is a new restaurant... Maybe a rebranding and working out how to run a restaurant during the shutdown will be a good thing, we'll see

My wife and I went to Mangoes once and it was one of the weirdest experiences we have ever had.   We were just looking for a quick bite and a beer on a hot day so we wandered in.  There was one woman working (?) who took our drink order, but she couldn't figure out how to use the beer taps behind the bar so she gave us bottled beers instead.  Then she just . . . left and never came back.  People kept coming into the restaurant, sitting for about 10 minutes until they received no service, and then leaving.  We were there for about 30-40 minutes and never got our food order taken.  Not even sure if there was a kitchen.  Something about it screamed, "this restaurant is a front for something shady" but we couldn't figure it out.  Who opens the doors to a restaurant with no staff inside?

HAHA WHAT. I would have just poured my own beers to be honest.
