A sun-warmed golf cart hums through Uptown Charlotte as color edges into every alley and blank wall — murals leaning toward the street like neighbors waving. The ride moves at a human pace: slow enough to read an artist’s tag, quick enough to keep the city’s rhythm. You start in front of ImaginOn at 300 E 7th St, beside the Market at 7th Street, and the neighborhood unfurls — brick, glass, and paint meeting at the curb.
