Timeline
15:44
Grab a coffee at Quill's Coffee. It is open until 18:00 on weekdays, so you have time to settle in before the rush.
17:14
Walk to the Madame Walker Legacy Center. The building faces west, so the late afternoon sun will illuminate the façade beautifully. You can pop inside to see the original salon or just admire the exterior architecture as the light shifts.
17:44
Watch the sun set over the west side. The light fades quickly, but the historic brickwork holds the warmth a bit longer. This is the moment the building looks its most dramatic.
18:44
Head to The Social View for dinner. It is open late, so you can enjoy a meal while the city lights come on around you.
