York Road (Charlotte neighborhood)
York Road, and recently referred to as Lower South End (LoSo) by redevelopers and businesses wanting to emulate the Charlotte neighborhoods of NoDa and South End, is a mixed-use development neighborhood of commercial, industrial, and residential in Charlotte, North Carolina. Located along South Tryon Street (NC 49), it is bounded by Woodlawn Road to the south, Bill Lee Freeway (I-77/US 21) to the west, Clanton Road to the north, and South Boulevard to the east. History
Originally known as York Road, it was named after the road York Road before Charlotte annexed the neighborhood in 1960, changing the name to South Tryon Street. In 2009, The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery opened on Southside Drive (moving to Yancey Road in 2014); which was followed by other breweries and entertainment/restaurants to the area. By the Mid-2010s the name Lower South End (LoSo) began appearing as a place name for the area; the Charlotte Observer first mentions Lower South End in a 2016 article called Is ‘LoSo’ the new Charlotte drinking district? The name change sparked discussions about renaming neighborhoods with tacky and/or generic names, with some proposing to rename the area Charlotte Park, named after a sign that still stands from a drive-in movie theater that used to be in the area. Since then, several businesses have incorporated Lower South End or LoSo in their names; in 2019, a  mixed-use development, spearheaded by Beacon Partners, began construction next to the Scaleybark station called LoSo Station.
