#QueenCityStroll, Part Deux

Not quite a month ago I laced up the sneakers and took a long walk through Uptown Charlotte and beyond.  Nearly nine miles in total, traversing through dozens of neighborhoods, soaking in the myriad of sights and sounds.  I took some pics along the way and did a little blog post on the whole affair, which you can check out HERE.

This week I'm doing my standard #PastorSpringBreak after Easter and chose to do my second #QueenCityStroll today.  Gorgeous day for it - sunny and high 70's/low 80s.  This time I started at Presbyterian/Novant Hospital and headed into Uptown via Elizabeth St. Took a right on North Davidson St. and followed that all the way out to NoDa, a hip little community a few miles outside of Uptown.  After some lunch and visiting my cousin and his husband, I came back via Villa Heights and Plaza Midwood, on to Elizabeth and back to the hospital.  Total miles: 9.5.  

What really amazed me about this walk was not just the diversity of neighborhoods I encountered, but how frequently I encountered that diversity.  Sometimes literally from house to house - a fancy-schmantzy new construction, right next to a scrawny old brick.  It made me wonder - what was there before that fancy-schmantzy house showed up, and where are the the people who used to live there?

Anyway, enjoy the pics below.  As before, I comment only when I feel some explanation is needed.  Otherwise, I let the pics speak for themselves.

​Charlotte peeps - where should my next #QueenCityStroll take me?
