Does anyone know "the 1st St. cut?" Well, the street is undergoing change with new street lamps along with some buildings that looks as if they have been redone. It is a really great looking area at night time, so if anyone gets the chance venture over there one night to see for yourself.

Agreeing with the person that posted the pic, it would be nice if "the cut" was filled with water and creating a sort of Venetian theme on the street. This could be a street filled with shops, art galleries, restaurants, etc., and the "canal" could be have a couple of gondolas for people to just ride in them or for couples on a date. I can see a married couple just cruising from one end of the canal to the other after dinner at one of the restaurants. But now that I think about it, the canal just might not be deep enough for a gondola also it isn't long enought for it to be a decent cruise, but I think water between the lanes would still be a nice touch to sprucing up the street and area.

If they could some how make it flow, that would be a wonderfull addition.  Let it end in a nice reflecting pool, with a large fountain.  And I don't mean just any fountain.  One that draws people to the area just to see it.

Digging those pics, convulso.  I still can't get used to saying "the Wachovia Tower."

Bravo, that's a great picture of the Kress building.  This would be a nice addition to the UP thread on Southern Kress buildings as well:  Historic Kress buildings of the South.
