Who’s missed posting all things Charlotte? How do we rev it up again? Our Instagram highlight reels needs new life.
Let’s show off our city once again — and us. The best of the best? That’s what the Queen City is known for, is she not?
Let’s get our Instagram groove back using these top hot spot backdrops:
The growth in Optimist Park can be caught with Uptown standing tall at the Matheson Bridge area. Not quite Noda. Not quite Uptown. She’s all her own.
The Immersive Van Gogh of course. Make a day or night of this incredible art experience and explore Camp’s 76 acres of public space, shops, art collectives, food & drink. Tickets available 7 days/week through Sept 12: www.vangoghclt.com
Our newest Plaza Midwood mural. She’s hot. Take us to Miami? Nope. 1205 Thomas Ave is where it’s at.
Shopping for art is always a good ‘gram. Scout Design Studio for both. Gummy bears. Buy it. Post it.
Hotel pool staycation? Yes please. Day passes make it happen. Pool vibes are always Instagram gold. And with views for days.
Pins Mechanical can be crowded. Escape to the bathroom with your girls for a breather and the selfie you can’t leave without. Girls’ nights are back.
THEVERYMANY art scultpture Pillars of Dreams at Valerie C. Woodard Center on Freedom Drive is well, dreamy. Picnic for 2 selfie?
What do you see ahead? Head to 245 Clinton Rd (Red Clay Cider) and state your case. We can’t stop staring.
Lake Norman days don’t have to be on a boat. Feast your eyes from Hello Sailor. Lobster roll Insta post gets you extra points.
Share which blooms you are taking home with a fresh shot at Blackhawk Garden Center. Always make a statement.
Camp North End beach? The surprise destination we didn’t know we needed. A round of beverages at any beach is a must-grab snap. Toast to flip-flop season.
The Whitewater Center is the only place you can get a drop shot like this. Charlotte’s splash pad for all ages.
You can’t make everyone happy. But you can go for some ice-cream at Two Scoops in Midwood and get your version of happiness. Take some time to remember who really matters. We love strawberry.
The Knights game Uptown backdrop. Homeruns and sunsets.
Summerhouse SM – the newest airport good eats for the before-the-flight humblebrag about ‘having to wait’. (We’re just jealous)
Big Rock Nature Park for the unexpected. She’s hidden right off of 485 in South Charlotte. Granite millions of years old left almost as a sacred gift. Once Native American land — pay homage.
The wine bar is now open at the RH Rooftop Restaurant. Be one of the firsts with the scoop. Show your friends who’s Instagram boss.
Merchant & Trade rooftop for the drinks and the views. You can’t compete without this in your Instagram repertoire.
Farmer’s Market haul. Uptown version. The juxtaposition of the two is unexpected. 300 N. Davidson Street. Peaches?
Front Porch Sundays is for the kids and dogs. Pop-up shots are sly — they low-key show off the best of what you’ve got.
Look up once in a while. The Metropolitan for Umbrella Alley and grab the shot your out-of-town peeps won’t be able to recreate.
Head to Gastonia for the smell of it. Carolina Lavender‘s gardens are gorgeous. Deep breaths.
Wherever you may roam for your Instagram shot — remember, be kind to yourself. We’re all going through something. Instagram’s just the highlight reel.
You are more than yours.
