Central Piedmont Community College

(http://www.cpcc.cc.nc.us) - the main branch is located just southeast of i-277, though there are others scattered around the area. cpcc has been noted as a relatively high-quality community college, and has increasingly integrated itself into the life of the city though the central campus itself is still a bit bland. recently, the college constructed a major new theater building, with a landmark statue on its front lawn.

Lava Lounge

By far the hippest place to go for post-dance chillout. This is literally a lounge, though the small dance floor is often quite active. DJs play a diverse array of music while hookah smoke floats in front of live candles. A very low-key, exotic vibe. Cover charged only after 2AM on Friday and Saturday.

This excellent community college is a center of activity. It regularly hosts events of all sizes, and its newly-constructed theater building is already a landmark.

Quite the bruising and fascinating experience that has really grabbed the attention of many folks in Charlotte. Steadily attracting fans to watch this fast paced sporting event.
