The Elizabeth neighborhood was home to department store magnate William Henry Belk, and the city’s first neighborhood movie theater, The Visulite, a popular night spot in Elizabeth which continues to feature live music nightly. New shops, up-scale restaurants and revitalization along Elizabeth Avenue has created a trendy Charlotte NC hot spot which attracts many visitors to the Elizabeth community. Some of Elizabeth’s most popular stops include the rose gardens at Independence Park, a New Orleans rooftop dinner at The Cajun Queen or a luxurious night out at Carpe Diem followed by a rooftop drink at my favorite martini bar (with incredible skyline views), Loft 1523.

"The beauty of the mature landscaping, the aroma of blooming flowers and the welcoming feeling all captivate your senses as you traverse through this historic community"..... I wanted to move to Elizabeth while reading this sentence.!

Interesting. So Mr. Belk was from Elizabeth. The Charlotte area has much to offer. I was watching the NASCAR race last night - from Charlotte and next Sunday there as well.
Debe- Excellent post on the community of Elizabeth. We have a Belk Department store near us and it is interesting to know that they started in Elizabeth!
