13. Paragraph Briefly Summarizing Known History Of The Property: Independence Boulevard was once one of Charlotte's major commercial corridors. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area. Eateries and Cafeterias such as The K&W attracted the attention of passerby's traveling along what we know today as Independence Boulevard. More structures, such as this modern example of a cafeteria were beginning to cater specifically to those with a disposable income to spare. The K&W Cafeteria is a surviving example of eye-catching colors which attracted attention of hungry passerby's. This structure is in to be demolished this year.
