I feel like the Arena District should be much more built out than it is. I hate to say this, but in any other decently size city there would be no gravel lots left in the area like this so close to downtown. I feel like there’s still a long way to go there I would say it’s one of the more frustrating areas in my opinion.
Id like to see something like this development in Charlotte called RailYard built in Arena District. More glass and really nice big retail spaces/restaurant spaces with big windows where we can attract interesting stores/cool restaurants (not saying I want all chains but some chains are really good like Summerbird shown in the pic or a place like Flower Child).
