Attractions in Charlotte, N.C.?

I'm looking for attractions that are very popular, but nothing having to do with racing or sports of any kind. Is there a really big popular mall that everyone loves? Or other attractions that tourists come back to see over and over?

Please give specifics...if you don't have time to give website or location, please make sure the name of the place is correct so I can search online for it. I appreciate all your help!!!

:)

You might have a tough time with this one. Until 10-15 years ago, Charlotte really was a mid-sized city. Charlotte doesn't have any well known landmarks.
