Charlotte "do you remember" thread

[davos]

Wasn't it like inside SP? Like you could get into it through the mall?

SPEAKING of that, remember when they had the cafeteria at South Park? Man, I loved that place! Yeah it was a little grungy and grimey but it was straight southern cafeteria food and you go through the line with your little tray surrounded by old people. good times.

Frankenstein's was the sh*t haha

And wasn't Charlie's basically where Brooks Bros. is right now of course before they built all the new additions?

Remember when the mascot for the Charlotte NBA team was an homage to both the history of the city as well as a natural disaster that struck the city and was not a narcissistic embodiment of an owner's ego?

Remember when cotswold had an actual indoors mall with a food court?

Hell yes I do. They had the fugin coolest toy store outside of Lionel Toy Warehouse Charlotte had. I'll never forget begging my mom to buy me the Voltron Lions set they had there.

Remember when Eastland was the nice mall and southpark was a small mall?

Yep. Took a number of girlfriends in high-school to Eastland. I remember reading this comic in the comic store not too far from the food court:

That comic freaked me out for some reason.

Remember when the hwy 51 corridor was all farmland?

Yep! They used to fly Ultralites from the fields that became Tower Place.

Do you remember when the high school kids would drive their cars endlessly around the Arboretum or form as a huge mob out in the Wal Mart parking lot?

They still do I think. They get mom's hand me down throw a $90 exhaust tip (I used to make $30 commission on everyone I sold at the rice burner shop I worked at) on it and think it has 80 billion horsepower.
