Tall Tale in Myers Park Neighborhood

February 9th, 2010 categories: Great Neighborhoods

Myers Park may have some of the tallest and most beautiful structures in Charlotte – but if you ask the Myers Park Homeowner’s Association – they’d better be of the “natural” kind. TREES that is!

Charlotte’s Myers Park is venerated, beloved…treasured by all Charlotteans. It would be hard to argue there is a more beautiful cadre of tree-lined avenues in this city or for that matter any city in the southeast. That’s the good news…

The bad news is our beloved “forest” of old growth oaks is under siege first by canker worms and now by development. Homeowners Associations often take flack for their restrictive covenants but they also serve a noble purpose especially in historically significant neighborhoods like Myers Park. Read Ron Stodghill’s excellent commentary on just such a debate Myers Park gets worked up over height restrictions. Happily the tallest “structure” you’re likely to see in Myers Park will continue to be a structure no man can build!

oh and that>>>
