^I'll add Belmont to the Charlotte area list. There are a lot of local events throughout the year. It's small and called "Historic Downtown Belmont" although there aren't any official historical sites that I'm aware of. It is very walkable, has a park, coffee shop, several stores and bars/restaurants. A few stay open until midnight and until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.

You're so right. Also Waxhaw and Weddington are cute. Waxhaw has a railroad that runs down the middle of its dt. Kind of cool.
Belmont looks like a great little town. I love towns that have a sense of community and a hub where everyone from the town can gather. I found this and it looks like just one of the events they do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rGKOwC5SjM
Becky, on city-data's Belmont page you can see a few pictures of the downtown area. They have lots of community events and the cities adavi215 has listed do as well. Other towns like Belmont's neighbors Cramerton and Mt. Holly have downtowns that are being revitalized (adding more stores and restaurants) and are becoming more popular. As you can see the Charlotte metro has many thriving and growing small towns.
Does this exist anywhere around, more specifically near Raleigh, Durham or maybe a little more west or east? Any other areas in NC? I'm talking about a walkable historical downtown with shops, restaurants/cafe's, bars that have a bit of a nightlife on weekends.
In the Sandhills the seniors like to hang out in Pinehurst and the non seniors in Southern Pines.

It looks nice but why is the crime so high? (7 out of 10)
