My second Every Street CLT was less of a street, and more of a block. In loom of Common Market Southend getting demolished, I wanted to walk around it and photograph it before that happened, and since I can't write about Common Market without also sharing our 'Coming to Charlotte' story, here goes...
WOO! I can't believe it - my first blog post on a personal project that's been brewing in my heart and mind for a few years.
