Third Ward lies directly to the west of the intersection of Trade and Tryon. It is the quadrant bounded by South Tryon on the southwest and West Trade on the northeast.
Center City’s Third Ward is a diverse, quaint, turn of the century streetcar neighborhood home to Bank of America Stadium and Gateway Village which is one of the state’s largest mixed-use developments with 1,500,000 sq ft (139,000 m2) of office, shops, restaurants, and over 500 housing units. The most exciting new project is Wachovia’s First Street Project, comprising cultural, office, residential, and open space. Johnson & Wales University is expanding its campus in the Center City while the Mecklenburg County’s Parks and Recreation Department has unveiled plans for an urban park in the district. Multiple condominium high rise towers have begun or are ready to begin construction. Plans are also underway to construct a $200 million transportation hub along the Norfolk Southern Railway called the Gateway Station, which will be completed in 2010. The Gateway Station will house the Greyhound bus stop, the Amtrak station, the LYNX Purple Line and LYNX Silver Line, and a CATS bus hub.

I know there are a lot of complaints about Bank of America, but I think they are amazing. Why would you want to use anyone else? If think think this bank is bad, try the others!
