top five charlotte spots

soul –the vibe, the spicy feta dip, the brick walls, the moscow mules, the neighborhood, the music, the sushi, the peacock on the wall, the cupcakes, the view of the city! {it holds a special place for my sister and i and mr. monaco and i- lots of great memories and chats spent here}
customshop –the atmosphere, the fresh bread, the small plates, the cheese boards, the candles, the concept, the fact that elizabeth creamery is right across the street. 
amelie’s french bakery –the eclectic feel, the live music, the comfortable furniture, the soup, the pastries, the lattes, the egg sandwiches, the cinnamon hot tea, the feel of paris.
bakersfield –the tributes to johnny and june cash, the guacamole, the sangria, the garage doors, the tacos al a carte, the margs in mason jars, the old country music/movies playing, the memories from visits to cincy … now in charlotte.
paper skyscraper –the books, the gifts, the hours spent strolling, the wrapping paper, the candles, the stationary, the unique vibes, the old school candy, the adorable home decor, the david french paintings, the kitchen utensils, the school supplies, the travel section.

 it struck a core with me.
