Charlotte's South End was an industrial wasteland in the 1980s. Now, it's a vibrant home to breweries, shops, restaurants – and relentless construction. Recent developments have some worried that popular gathering spots will be replaced by apartments or office towers. We'll talk to one of the pioneers who helped make South End cool, and is now selling the lot that includes Common Market and Food Truck Fridays.
