South Kings Drive is off of one of East Boulevard, which was once one of Charlotte's major commercial corridors.  Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area.  Inevitably, over time drive-ins, eateries, and restaurants such as the Philadelphia Deli became part of the streetscape.
