THE MAP:
Buildings are categorized according to main use and function. The layout of Charlotte’s Overstreet Mall_ hidden from outside view as it’s located inside the connecting buildings_ includes entrances, pathways within the buildings, locations of steps and escalators and sky bridge connections. Main attractions, hotels, schools, places of worship, government buildings, residential buildings and homes , are all easily differentiated with contrasting colors. Zooming to larger scales reveals the details of block numbers, direction of traffic flow and parking entrance locations.
The map includes cultural and entertainment venues such as the NC Music Factory, EpiCentre, The Levine Center for the Arts with the Knight Theater and Mint Museum Uptown and The Blumenthal.
The map is detailed to the extent that even the sectional seat numbers for Carolina Panther games are delineated.
View the campuses of Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) and Johnson & Wales University (JWU). Zoom in to fill the device screen and you have complete campus maps.
Sculptures, memorials and fountains dot Uptown. The sculptures of “Independence Square” let you know that you found the heart and center of Charlotte Uptown; find them on The Map.
Transportation features include the free fare Gold Rush shuttle routes and it’s 12-minute-frequency daytime stops. Flying to Charlotte and going Uptown? Leaving Uptown to Charlotte Douglas International Airport? It’s an easy 30-minute ride on the new hybrid electric bus- The Sprinter. The Map provides route and general schedule information. The efficient LYNX Blue Line light rail, with four station stops in Uptown, is included and an inset map shows the total 9.6-mile route and general schedule information.
ET CETERA
CLT Uptown is The Map, and it represents the area where ground truthing is enjoyed by biking, riding the shuttle and rapid transit, strolling the greenways, delighting in the plethora of great places to eat (influenced by the culinary skills of students and graduates of JWU and CPCC) and feasting on the quality cultural and entertainment events. Often the question comes to mind: What is that over there? Soon after_it probably finds its way on The Map.
