Tony Tours the Town - Cannon Village - Kannapolis NC

By
Real Estate Agent with NorthGroup Real Estate/www.TonyORealtor.com 218572

My last post was about seeing a movie at the Gem Theatre in Kannapolis NC. The Gem is in an area known as Cannon Village.

The main shopping area of Cannon Village is a long street with businesses/shops on both sides. Here you will find furniture stores, gift shops, ice cream parlors, churches and much more.

 

 

 

After the movie, we took a leisurely walk down the pavered sidewalk to window shop and occassionally stop in a store.

Every so often, there is a bench to sit on should your footsies get tired.  : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is even a public restroom should the need arise.

There is plenty of parking as well.

 

 

 

 

 

Located right next to Cannon Village is the new

NC Research Campus. It's being built where the old Textile buildings use to be.

At one time, Kannapolis was a booming textile town. But now, with that industry all but gone, the Research Campus has taken it's place. It is everyone's hope that the Campus will revitalize the area once more.

 

 

Research Campus under construction.

 

 

 

 

With the Research Campus, Cannon Village, and of course, the Gem Theatre, this area of Kannapolis is sure to be bustling in no time.

I have also noticed some new home construction in the area.

I'm happy to say, Kannapolis is a nice place to visit and a great place to live!

Mr Tony,

Do you dress as well as me when you tour the town? You need to look good. Remember that.

Hi Bill,

It is making a comeback since the Textiles left. Lucky for us, it's only a stone's throw from where we live!

Hi Lynn911,

I really like them too. Too many things become new or updated. I like the throw backs to older times!

Tony,

It is always fun to be somewhere that feels like you are taking a step back in time.

What a beautiful "main" main street! 

I enjoy walking through these small towns and wish there were more in my area.

Looks like a really nice place to visit. Reminds me of a small European town.
