Getting Around
The 485/South Blvd Station is the closest for taking the train uptown. Get dropped off right at the heart of uptown for Panthers Games, Nascar museum, Hornets games, Epicentre, museums, and everything uptown Charlotte. On the way find several stops that take you to FutoButa (best Ramen onEarth) or Luna's Living Kitchen (rethink how good raw vegan can be)
