I had to work for a couple of hours at the Auto show today. Of course I had my camera to take pics of a few cars I didn't get good shots of yesterday. But after I left the convention center I decided to walk around a little. After all, today was a nice day and I paid $20 to park (damn panthers game!) but it's not that bad, I get that $20 back.  

Anyway, I hope you enjoy. I left the pics their original size because personally, I like larger pictures when it comes to architecture.

BOA  B)



I like this place  



Do any of you live here? I really like the way these look.











I like this angle



I really like both of these buildings







Plenty of Wachovia pics











The wedge!



Some people hate the Westin, but I love it. It reminds me of Lego blocks or Transformers. I expect it to Transform into a cool robot any second.



As I was driving back to Cotswold and stopped at the light on Trade I snapped a couple of pics of the bobcats arena. It's really coming along!





That's it! I hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I enjoyed walking around uptown today.

Those are some great pics!  Charlotte has some beautiful architecture.  Those fish statues remind me of Eureka's Castle, lol.  Did anyone ever watch that show as a kid?  You might know what I'm talkin about

Great pics ezcheese!  I walked around uptown yesterday after going to the auto show but haven't had a chance to look at them yet.  Drove past the arena to see the progress but I hadn't noticed that they have already started putting in the windows until I saw your picture above.  It really is coming along quite fast!  I think the most exciting thing now will be seeing Courtside rise...then by the time it's topped out we'll be feasting our eyes on Novare's project!

I did, but the question is, does anyone remember watching Dumbo?     I used to love that show!

Thanks guys! I love spending time uptown. My eyes are always drawn upwards because of one building or another. Eureka's castle? I feel old! I remember it coming on nickelodion when I was in high school. I grew up with 3-2-1 contact!, the electric company, mister wizard and captain kangaroo!

Great pics!
Jesus, the Arena starts looking incredible   , when I was in Charlotte it was just a huge "grey construction thin", but now...I don't remember what they're building next to it (the Children Learning center?), but I can't wait to see all that finished...

Nice photography ezcheese.  Thanks for posting your photos here.   That fountain in the park in front of the Radcliff is a favorite of mine.

So, that nice residential building is the Radcliff? It would be cool to live there.  B)

I wish! Once I get out of school and get my feet on the ground, if I am still living here, I would definitely want to live uptown.

Oh my goodness.  Awesome.

Charlotte looks really neat from those pictures. That is a city I could see myself living in about twenty years.
