There's something wild about Charlotte, "Wildwood", to be exact.

Wildwood is a rural community of 4,000+ residents, a neighborhood of Charlotte with the same endearing country charm that pervades many of the city's surrounding neighborhoods. Wildwood's populace ranks among the most diverse in the region.

The city is undoubtedly an exciting place to live, so in tribute to the community's uniquely progressive and modern vibe, we've rounded up a few of the most unusual and exciting things to do around town.

We are foodies at heart, but sometimes the same old southern classics won't do. One such place is "What The Fries," a five-star joint specializing in the most outrageous French fry plates on the planet, along with many other tasty items. If you haven't tried Shrimp Hibachi Fries yet, what are you waiting for?

The Crunkleton is not so much a restaurant and cocktail bar but a full-fledged adventure. Every drink is a piece of art with a modern twist, the atmosphere is downright theatrical, and the food is phenomenal. One visitor even commented that they could "die happy" because of their beignets.

For the hippest hamburgers and a mouth-watering collection of culinary delights, head to Optimist Hall. And for the most unusual desserts, drop by Day & Night Exotic Cereal Bar. We promise you'll never look at the cornflakes in your cupboard the same way again.

Mecklenburg County is known for its rural parks, but there are perhaps none quite as different or wonderful as Crooked Creek Park. Finding this park is an adventure, as it lies hidden down a winding road. But once you find it, it's massive, and it has an extensive array of recreational activities you won't find anywhere else in Charlotte. Of course, there's a terrific playground, ballfields, walking trails, and a biking trail. But that's not even half of it. There's also a wonderful ADA-compliant section, outdoor fitness equipment, a splash pad, a disc golf course, and what might be the most impressive dog park in North Carolina.

Next, if you want to play even harder, dive deeper. There's no better place to learn how to scuba dive than at Xplore Scuba, which has top-notch excursions for experienced divers.

If you want to take a walk on the wild side of Wildwood, how about a ghost hunt? The haunted history of the region is vast and fascinating, and one of the most intriguing spots is the historic Rosedale plantation, one of the most haunted places in the state. Best of all, you can do more than take a tour; you can join experienced ghosthunters on an actual investigation led by the Charlotte Area Paranormal Society.

If you hear strange, scary noises around your home in Wildwood, it's much more likely a pest problem than a ghost. So, please be smart, don't investigate on your own.
