The old classic signs have been replaced, but this Dairy Queen in Charlotte’s Plaza-Midwood neighborhood must still be one of the oldest in the country, 10/06/12
Social Status Hip-Hop Shop, Charlotte
Social Status (@TheSocialStatus) is Charlotte’s newest hip-hop shop in Plaza-Midwood, full of upscale urban wear and shoes.
The original location of Charlotte’s Fuel Pizza (@fuel_pizza) in Plaza-Midwood is appropriately located in a converted gas station.
This pair of drums was in the window of Reggae Central, a Jamaican clothing and music shop in Charlotte’s Plaza-Midwood district. Directly next door was Mama’s Caribbean Cafe.

The 7/11 chain of convenience stores was one of the sponsors of the Midatlantic Music Conference (@Midatlmusic) and were at the event on Saturday afternoon offering free coffee and free slurpees which were very much appreciated, 10/06/12
Prince’s Chicken Coop is to Charlotte what Gus’ World-Famous Fried Chicken is to Memphis and West Tennessee. At lunch you won’t be able to get in the door, but once you do get inside there are four lines, and they move rather quickly, all things considered. The biggest disappointment to me is that Price’s is a to-go only restaurant, which I imagine is fine if you live in Charlotte. On the other hand, if you are visiting the city from elsewhere, as I was, you have to find a place to take your food and eat it. Ultimately I took it to the Midatlantic Music Conference at the Chop Shop and ate it during PMD’s keynote speech!
