in our city | favorite spring spots

maybe it’s the lovely weather or the hopefulness of returning to a more ‘normal’ lifestyle soon or just my love for our city … but lately, i am making a list of all of the places i love in charlotte. we have a lot of exciting things starting to open back up in music and design and our community feels so supportive of one another. fall and spring are both so magical- there’s nothing like the blooming azaleas, dogwoods, fresh breezes, and tulips.  if you are local, here are some ideas for you to enjoy.
