    Paper Skyscraper

    Charlotte, NC

    Quirky, surprising, and irreverent, Paper Skyscraper is not your typical card store. Although it has the city's best selection of cards and stationery, it boasts much more: books, home furnishings, jewelry, and very good chocolate. ...

    Price's Chicken Coop

    Charlotte, NC
