  • I remember when the NC Music Factory was first being built. Creative Loafing moved their offices over there before much anything else was there. There was one small bar/club space in there and to get to the complex you had to drive over some brutal railroad tracks. Now Seaboard St allows for easy access to the venue without going over the tracks (which have since been blocked off). What is the NC Music Factory anyway? It's basically a planned entertainment district just on the outskirts of uptown, and as the name suggests, the district focuses on musical entertainment. Most of the buildings are old textile mills, much like most of the buildings in NoDa and some in South End. There is the Fillmore, an indoor concert venue, the cheesily named Time Warner Cable Uptown Amphitheater which is an intimate outdoor venue, and the outdoor stage near the fountain at the factory. The bars and restaurants now include Bask, the Saloon, Wet Willies, and VBGB beer garden. I was happy to see Wet Willie's open since the ones in Charleston and Savannah were fun. In case you don't know, it's a big daiquiri bar with drinks like "Call a Cab" made with 190 grain alcohol. A Comedy Zone finally opened about 5 years after the one on 9th St closed, so that's also a nice addition. One thing that really hindered this district from taking off was the accessibility and parking. We tried going one night last year just to go to Wet Willie's and the parking alone was $15 so we didn't go. The district also is not served by light rail or bus, so that made things difficult too. However, there are now several large free parking lots, and there's also a shuttle that runs from uptown on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights which helps so the parking issue seems to be resolved. The NC Music Factory is a great addition to Charlotte and the region and it seems to be bringing some much needed economical impact. There weren't too many mid-size concert venues here until it opened, so it helps with booking acts that are too big for places like Amos but not big enough for an arena. It's a cool place to hang out, get a drink and see a show.
