The city of Charlotte, North Carolina developed along a former Native American trading route to become the epicenter of national and international banking trade. The city center radiates from the intersection of Trade and Tryon, with Tryon serving as the main business districts during weekdays and the essential promenade on weekend. Along this main conduit we experience a sense of southern charm, the many plazas and pocket parks along Tryon recalls the idyllic picture of the cozy southern neighborhood lined with hospitable front porches.
Unfortunately, the underperforming public places dishonor the pulchritude of the urban environment. Relatively low residential density and lack of retail store on Main Street makes this a photo-op backdrop of an urban setting with very little cosmopolitan spirit.
