John Bell, the developer newly hired by Gvest Partners, welcomed City Council members,
local media and many Charletteans to the groundbreaking ceremony for The Yards at NoDa.
The $40 million dollar project will feature studio, one, two, and three bedroom apartment
units, townhomes, a resort style pool, fitness center, clubhouse and dog park. The property
is located behind the Johnston YMCA, south of the Chop Shop on East 33rd Street.
Ray Gee, one of two managing partners for Gvest, has been in the Charlotte area for
ten years and declared the Queen City his
home forever. Gvest has an Atlanta office and is
starting their work in Charlotte with this project.
Updos, Makeovers and
A Day in the Life of the Orange Olive
by Matt Lemere
There’s something more interesting nestled between the
blow dryers, hair shears and styling gel at the Orange Olive
than your typical hair gallery. You’ll also find one of NoDa’s
most prized art galleries. And both are the brainchildren of
owner Melissa Needham.
According to Dumont Clarke, a representative
of District Four on the Board of County
Commissioners, this project, “shows signs of
vitality in Mecklenburg County” and “you can’t
ask for a better place than in NoDa to redevelop.”
First, the hair gallery: Melissa explains she is “genetically
predisposed” to work in a hair salon. Her mom was a hair
stylist when Melissa was growing up in New Jersey. After
earning a degree from UNC-Charlotte in Organizational
Communications, Melissa worked in and managed several
area salons. But she needed something more to help
challenge her creative spirit. She envisioned a salon that
would be focused on “hair, the arts, and the community.”
Bell said it was the forward thinking of the city
leaders to create the BLE and the vision of
connecting communities together that led
to opportunities like this project. “From a
developer’s perspective, it is a great way to
create more density and vibrant communities.”
That’s when Melissa’s friend, Bryan Quan – a quintessential
NoDa free spirit and one who is sorely missed – suggested
NoDa would be the perfect spot for a new salon. She
remembers she thought it was a natural fit. “The people who
live here are creative and are the types of clients we want in
our salon. And it was a good opportunity because there were
no other salons to compete with back then.”
The Yards at NoDa will open in the spring of
2014, adding five hundred residents to the
NoDa community. They are looking to reach out
to local artists to create graffiti on the walls.
“What every developer wants is to have an
apartment complex in a great neighborhood with
cool shops, art galleries, bars and restaurants
and have it be walk-able and unique,” said Bell. That, good sir, is exactly what you’ve got!!!
Next, the art gallery: In 2008 when Orange Olive opened its
doors, traditional art galleries were starting to feel the pain of
the economic recession. Soon neighborhood galleries began
to close, and the Orange Olive stepped in to fill the void. The

A Day in the Life of the Orange Olive
salon began showcasing local emerging artists and hosted gallery openings to coincide with a
Gallery Crawl Friday night.
Melissa remembers it wasn’t easy at first and recalled several early tribulations. “It was hard to
get those first artists to promote their event, so sometimes we’d have a really small crowd. One
artist forgot about the opening and didn’t make it to his own event,” she recalls, laughing about
it now. But it has matured and flourished over time and has become a natural part of their work
environment.
“It’s mutually beneficial for the artist and the
salon,” she says. Artists find encouragement, blank
walls and an eager audience in her salon. Many
of the artists are up-and-coming, and few have
had many opportunities to hang their works in
a traditional gallery. The salon does not receive
commission for any art that is sold so artists can
keep prices low to customers.
Whatever she’s doing, it seems to be working. The
Orange Olive has been recognized twice with
Creative Loafing’s “Best of Charlotte” award. They
also took home the coveted “Best Stress-Free
Salon” BOB (Best of the Best) Award hosted by
Charlotte Magazine. Last fall, three of her stylists
were selected to help do the speakers’ hair and
make-up at the Democratic National Convention.
Melissa’s excited about the future and looks
forward to the salon evolving. “I enjoy the process of growth and accomplishing things,” she
said. “I enjoy chipping away at a problem until it’s resolved.” She also has a weak spot for burgers
and beer, but that’s a story for another article.
Scott Whiteside, a Charlotte native, is the current artist at the Orange Olive. Scott incorporates
a variety of recycled materials to create his works, and he has been heavily influenced by the
Lowbrow Art Movement. This underground art style started in Los Angeles in the 1970s and has
seen a recent resurgence in popular art. His works will be displayed until September.

The People in Your Neighborhood Association Member of the Month
Alex Shaw
Evan Plante
Alex is a familiar face (and welcome Brit wit) in NoDa. You may remember him as the tall bartender
at Sanctuary a couple years ago. For the last 18 months, he’s been with Neighborhood Theatre,
now as General Manager. We’ve seen him at just about every hour working like mad to get the
place up and running since the management change in March.
The bar is now open (not only on nights with shows), and Alex says, “Being involved with
Neighborhood Theatre is fantastically exciting, it’s a real cornerstone of the neighborhood I’ve lived
in since 2005 and a chance to shape the music scene in the city overall. We’ve totally remodeled the
bar, fixed up the bathrooms and installed a new PA and lighting rig, but haven’t altered the ethos of
the venue. We want to bring a great variety of artists to NoDa, and be a fun, friendly place to watch a
show. We’re going to feature local bands as well, and that excites me. I’ve been hosting a show, ‘The
Roundabout’ on Plaza Midwood Community Radio for 6 months and have met a lot of artists who
work hard, for little reward, to make Charlotte’s music scene what it is. They deserve the spotlight
and I’m glad I can do a little bit to give it to them. I’m just a part of a great team, at work and at
home, and it would be unfair for me not to mention Gregg, Aaron, Preston, Amanda, Max and all the
other people who have worked so hard to enable me to live out this dream; it’s going to be a long
road to get where we all want to be, but their commitment to getting there will make it possible.”
So stop by the new bar and check it out. But don’t be a chav and talk to him in his native tongue,
with phrases like “Pip pip, cheerio and all that rot” or “Bollocks! It’s ‘ot as bloody ‘ell out there, it is” or
“Just one more pint, and Bob’s your uncle!” Because, cor, blimey, ‘e ‘ates that, ‘e does! So be a good
bird and treat him like a local.
So, now that you know who-what-where-and-why, find out the deeper deets we gathered in
the following interview:
Where are you from? London
Are you single? No, married, to Amanda, and we have a son, Max.
What is your sign? Aries
If money were not an issue, what would your perfect day off look like? Just a nice peaceful day
with Amanda and Max, honestly. I haven’t had many days off recently, so that sounds wonderful.
What is your favorite meal in NoDa? If PBR and whiskey isn’t a meal (which it is) then the Ham
and Cheese sandwich at Bodega is my go-to.
What is the last book you read? Gilead by Marilynne Robinson. It’s a letter from a preacher to his son as the
Our June Association Member of the Month, Evan Plante, is a familiar face to the AMOM space.
He was recognized as the 2010 Association Member of the Year largely due to his work on NoDa’s
2030 Vision Plan. Since then, Evan has focused on what you’re reading right now – helping to
design the NoDa News. Evan’s creativity and willingness to test new waters have helped the NoDa
News stay vibrant and fresh. After taking over as the Senior Graphic Design Editor, Evan worked
to reformat the style from a newspaper to a tabloid. The new look allows for better arrangement
of content and makes room for some badass photo designs. He also decided to forgo his summer
Monday evenings to help establish and maintain our NoDa 16” Softball League (check them out
on Facebook). Evan is also best friends with Andy Mock, a CATS Project Manager, and has worked
tirelessly to ensure the new Blue Line Extension will serve NoDa’s most pressing needs. Finally, he
may or may not be partly responsible for something you may or may not see and may or may not
use in the neighborhood (figure that one out yourself). With Evan’s enthusiasm and abundant
imagination, the NoDa News has a bright future – and one that is sure to be filled with many
other exciting changes. He is also extremely good looking and modest.
If you would like to see someone recognized for their contributions to the neighborhood, please email
your nominations to [email protected]. Remember, the AMOTM must be a dues-paying
member of NoDa NBA.
preacher contemplates death. I’m not a religious man, but I found the preacher’s totality of faith very touching.
What TV show are you embarrassed to watch? Teen Mom.
If your life were a movie, what would the title be, and who would play you? Pigpen: The Movie,
and I’d be played by Pigpen from Peanuts. I’m serially disorganized and messy, so his dust cloud
would work.
Do you have any pets? 3 dogs: Penguin, Lincoln and Memphis.
What about pet peeves? I cannot abide lateness, my own or others.
Name 3 things you can’t live without: Amanda and Max (that’s one), my record player and, sadly,
my phone.
What is your favorite thing about yourself? I’m happy with myself; overall, I’m in a good place.
What song title best describes your mood right now? I have no idea.
Do you prefer DOWNTIME or FLAGRANCE? Flagrance, significantly more fun to say.

Real Estate Market Update
by Ann Welchans, E-RYT, BROKER at Progressive Urban Real Estate
This may not be a surprise to those of you who have been watching the real estate market. But
here is the news for those of you who don’t watch the market. Here we are heading into July 2013
and the real estate market is quite a bit different than it was a year ago. Inventories are shrinking
(started to see this in October 2012) and that means that prices of homes are finally on the rise.
As a real estate agent, I have found myself in multiple bids on a number of homes, with some
homes going for more than asking price. The “deals” are becoming a thing of the past as we move
into a market that is becoming favorable for sellers. According to market analysts, many areas are
primed for sellers and Charlotte is one of them. As the home buying season (typically the warmer
months of the year) continues, those looking for homes may face greater competition from each
other. This is good for anyone who wants to sell his or her home and has been waiting for a more
favorable market. It is nice to have buyers fight over your house. That being said, I hope that this
continues, as it is good for all of us who own homes in NoDa.
ASSASSINS
CAST (Carolina Actors Studio Theatre) closes its 2013-14 season with “Assassins,” a show that gives
new meaning to the phrase “killer musical.”
Director Charles LaBorde helms the 21-member cast and leads the audience through the stories
of the inner lives of nine people who assassinated or attempted to assassinate a U.S. President.
The Story
Stephen Sondheim’s smart score and John Weidman’s thought-provoking book examine the
stories and motives of the more infamous assassins John Wilkes Booth, John Hinckley, Lee Harvey
Oswald and Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, along with the not-so-famous such as Leon Czolgosz,
Charles Guiteau and Giuseppe Zangara.
A Master’s Last Great Piece
Sondheim has always been LaBorde’s favorite musical theatre composer. The first show he saw on
Broadway was “A Little Night Music.” He also saw the original Broadway productions of “Sweeney
Todd,” “Company,” “Into the Woods” and “Passion.”
“Now a quarter century after directing my last Sondheim musical, ‘Follies,’ I find myself with the
opportunity to direct his ‘Assassins,’ which I consider the master’s last great piece for the theatre
and the one Sondheim himself says he would not change one word or note of,” says LaBorde. “The
show is a challenge from beginning to end -- the theme, walking the taste tightrope, and the
impossibly difficult music.”
He credits the incomparable skills of Marty Gregory as music director and the talented cast that
she and this material have attracted to the piece. “To perform a play about the gateway to hell,”
Laborde says. “We have been lucky to assemble an ensemble of angelic singers and actors.”

Back in the Day:
The Last of
the Giant Beagles
by Tony Pierce
Most NoDa residents are familiar with the restaurant JackBeagle’s and have eaten there
at least once (my personal favorite is the blue & black gourmet mac). What many people
don’t know is how owner Chris Ingram came up with the name for his bar. As it turns out,
JackBeagle was the name of his dog when he moved to NoDa in 2002. “People used to
think his name was Jack as in ‘Jack the beagle,’ but his name was simply JackBeagle,” said
Chris.
One day when he was out driving, Chris found JackBeagle wandering the side of the road.
He picked up the wayward pup hoping to find him a home. After a couple days of feeding
and taking care of him (alongside his other dog Crockett) Chris thought, “I am probably
going to keep him, and as I’m saying it to myself, JackBeagle sits straight up like a prairie
dog. As soon as he did that, I thought ‘Sold!’ you are now Crockett’s brother.’”
To his surprise, the once scrawny JackBeagle grew into a sixty pound dog. Chris describes,
“He wasn’t fat; he was just a diesel beagle mixed with something.” When people would
remark on the unusual size of JackBeagle, Chris would regale them with the tale of him
being the last of the Giant Beagles. As Chris, JackBeagle and Crockett would walk around
the neighborhood, JackBeagle became somewhat of a ladies’ dog. “Anytime we got near
women, he would sit up as straight as an arrow
with his tail behind him for support.”
Chris always dreamed of opening a bar in
JackBeagle’s honor, so when the current
location became available for rent, he jumped
at the opportunity. One of his early ideas was for
JackBeagle to roam the bar and customers get a
free shot when he sat up prairie dog style near
them. Unfortunately, JackBeagle passed away
before the bar opened in December of 2010. If
you hear someone comment they own a Giant
Beagle, just remember, it is impossible because
JackBeagle was the last of the breed.

It’s Ozone Season Y’all
What Can We Do?
by Emily Burns
Air pollution can harm people’s health and damage the environment. Air pollution can lead to
breathing problems such as asthma and emphysema. Too much exposure to pollution during
childhood can permanently reduce lung function. Some types of air pollution also can cause
heart problems. Air pollution can harm you even if you can’t see it or smell it. It also can hurt trees
and wildlife, cause haze that blocks scenic views, and contribute to water pollution and climate
change.
The two biggest air quality problems in North Carolina, and specifically in Mecklenburg County,
are ground-level and particle pollution. Both pollutants are caused mainly by emissions from cars
and trucks, and from the coal-burning power plants that supply most of our electricity.
Ozone “season” occurs when the days are warm and long, generally early May to the end of
October in North Carolina. Sunlight is needed to start the chemical reaction that forms ozone
and heat makes that ozone creating reaction more efficient. Ozone levels are at their highest
mid-afternoon through the evening. Because of this it is best to exercise in the mornings on
ozone action since ozone does not usually reach unhealthy levels until the afternoon (when it is
hottest).
Mecklenburg County Air Quality post ozone forecast on their website, airquality.charmeck.org/
and it is usually included in local media weather reports. When ozone levels are predicted to be
in an unhealthy range an Ozone Action Day will be declared. Folks who are sensitive to ozone
(children, people with respiratory issues, and older adults) will be encouraged to be careful while
they are outside and we are all asked to take some additional easy steps to reduce air pollution
and ground level ozone:
•
•
Refuel cars and trucks after dusk, when emissions are less likely to produce ozone.
Delay using gasoline-powered lawn and garden equipment until air quality is healthy
again.
• Delay using household, workshop, and garden chemicals until air quality is healthy
again.
Even on Non-ozone Action Days there are still things that we can do to keep the air cleaner:
• Conserve energy – at home, at work, everywhere. Turn off lights you are not using.
• Carpool or take public transit to your destinations if possible.
• Limit engine idling.
• Combine errands to reduce vehicle trips.
Please try to incorporate these ozone reduction steps into your daily routine during ozone
season. We will all breathe easier.

Our fourth season of NoDa 16” Softball is going strong into the summer months. Our spring
“season” has enjoyed an average attendance of
20 co-ed players. We’ve been battling the summer rain storms the past few weeks, and that
will continue through the summer months.
We’re continue to play ball every Monday night
at 6:30pm at North Charlotte Park on the corner
of Spencer and Herrin Avenues in NoDa. We’d
love to see some new brave souls come out and
sweat though the summer with us! If you’ve
made it out a few times in the past but haven’t
felt compelled to come back, give us another
chance. We always get excited when a onceand-a-while player turns into a regular. After all,
this is a volunteer neighbor-run league!
Also, a very big thank you to our sponsor Sanctuary Pub! They paid the bills to get us new 16”
softballs, line chalk and ringer baseball t-shirts!
As always, after the games on Monday nights
we head to Sanctuary for their 1/2 price chicken
wings!
