The Beaver paid more to Hatcher to rent the parking lot than they did for the Beaver building each month. Commenter Eric Kotz should check his facts. However, CL, the Beaver has only been open since Jan 2008 and I'm not sure Hatcher owns the land all the way to Pecan- you may have meant the block along Central after Hawthorne. No matter: long live the Beaver and the small business owners that make Charlotte unique.
