Charlotte’s 1st Social District!

Cheers to Plaza Midwood’s newest attraction! ๐Ÿฅ‚ The Charlotte City Council gave the green light to the district, and the party officially starts next year. You’ll be able to sip and stroll along Central Avenue, extending to Pecan Avenue, Thomas Avenue, and beyond. It’s a dream come true for local business owners, who’ve been eagerly waiting for this moment. ๐ŸŽ‰

But, as with any celebration, there are a few concerns. Councilman Ed Driggs points out that social districts can be a tad controversial due to intoxication risks. However, he’s all in for the fun factor and the potential boost in business. ๐Ÿป

It’s not just about having a blast; this move is set to build a tighter-knit community and healthier local businesses. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ‘ซ The Plaza Midwood social district is on the horizon, and it’s shaping up to be a lively addition to the neighborhood. So, get ready to raise your cups to Plaza Midwood’s future! ๐ŸŽˆ #PlazaMidwoodSips #SipSafely

No reservations required, but they’re a good idea! Limited seats available.ย Kids 5 and up are welcome, but the little ones under 5 can’t join in on the wax fun. Safety first!

Parking? They’ve got you covered. Check out some cool nearby spots while your candles cool down. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธโ˜•๐Ÿ’…
