The SouthPark Loop with Founder Drew Thrasher

Beyond the business, shopping, and entertainment of Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood, there is a rich history that can be explored along the Loop trail. The SouthPark Loop makes a path past the former site of Billy Graham and Charles Kuralt’s school, a preserved African-American cemetery, and the former headquarters of Eastern Airlines. Hike guide and founder Drew Thrasher joins the Carolina Outdoors to share more about the Loop and the intersection of past, present, and future.

Drew Thrasher is leading an urban hike on the SouthPark Loop on Saturday, May 2nd. If you missed the first hike on April 25th, join us for an encore! Learn more about the history of the SouthPark area with members of the community. We’ll meet at Jesse Brown’s at 9 a.m. Click HERE for more information!
