Didn't they show the national basketball championship on the side of that building in...checks notes...1994?

Yep, I was down there.  That was back when after 7PM there were tumbleweeds rolling down Tryon every night. Nothing down there AT ALL. But for that weekend they fabbed up a fully operational Fat Tuesdays on the fly and there were these weird little bars in office spaces everywhere.  Security low- fake ID dream.  Pretty great weekend.  I have heard more than one person say that weekend largely ignited the downtown revitalization.  Who knows?  It took off hard in the mid to late 90's and has yet to slow down.

 

I remember on like the 2nd day driving down there having to park like a block and a half away from the epicenter of the entire event and being pissed.  There literally was nothing going on there then.  Hard to believe really.

Yeah cool. I was in college and a bunch of us drove down cause there was nothing to do in Davidson or Lake Norman in 1994. And like you said people actually hanging out uptown on a weekday was a novelty. Seemed fun at the time.
