Mooresville, NC is an old milling and manufacturing town about 20 miles north of Charlotte, about 4 miles east of I-77. State Routes 115, 150 and 150 run through the middle of the struggling downtown area. There are some good antique and resale shops, but many of the mainstream stores are fleeing for more profitable areas. There is a great 1800's style hardware store you must visit. It's called D.L. Turner, right on Main Street. Something must be done to stabilize the downtown area to encourage more businesses to stay and to encourage new business to relocate downtown. With new shopping areas popping up on the other side of I-77, the downtown area may continue to struggle. Watch for some great shopping to come to Mooresville Towne Square and Mooresville Crossing in early 2007.
There are a few dining options in downtown Mooresville. Greg's Bar BQ and Ted's Kickin' Chicken on the casual side and Soiree' on the fancier end. I haven't made it to Soirre' yet. Greg's has a definite small town feel to it and the pulled pork dinner is a must try.
