Maybe I just don't pay attention but I can't remember ever seeing the vertical lights in the corners of Bank of America in Charlotte.  Can someone clear this up for me or am I just losing my mind?

I will have to look at it tonight and see if I notice a difference.

I remember eating at that Burger King... a loooong time ago, after shopping in the Belks that was there too. I am glad they are reconfiguring that area to make it more people friendly...that definately was a design error with the building...no interaction with the street.

The lights have been there as far as I can remember.  That's also cool that they will make the entry more people friendly.

I can't say that ive ever seen the lights there before.... but then I don't get to see it very frequently.

Haven't seen them since that one night.  Where'd they go?!?!

[Fruit Cove]

was theyre an event that night that might have caused them to turn them on?...maybe they didnt like them.  im not too fond of them myself

They were on again last night and also they had the crown lit in Panther blue.

From the above pic, they definitely help the tower "glow".

They need to be on, for aesthetic reasons and for good P.R. (as opposed to a darker night tower).

i saw a pic of this building at emporis and it was lit with blue lights.  was that a one time deal, happen occasionally or what. it looked really good.

Since the Panthers on doing Monday Night Football they have it lit up in blue...it will go back to normal later this week.

I also noticed on TV that they lit the windows in a paw print again for this game.

[uptownliving]

Too bad they lost the game....but it was some good exposure for the city as the game was seen in almost every country on the planet.

I remember when the building first opened over 10 years ago, it had those corner flood lights shining up from the base.  But they gradually stopped using them (maybe they were trying to save electricity?), and now they are on again.  BTW, why are the lights no longer being used on the Hearst tower?  I thought they were pretty cool, but every time I've gone uptown lately, the building is dark.

[uptownliving]

They were doing some work on the roof...they are back on now.

Was uptown last night at the Rock Bottom for dinner and saw the blue lights on the top of BoA for the first time in person.  Absolutely beautiful!  Now if we could only get different colored lights on the other buildings we'd be looking jazzy!
