  • SouthPark Mall
    Today, 08:36 PM I think the biggest issue with the Village at SouthPark is the lack of connectivity. The design itself is no better or worse than any of the other mixed-use developments around it, but having Crate & Barrel sitting in front of it and an easily missed driveway leading ...
  • Charlotte Arts Master Plan
    Today, 08:29 PM I really like everything about Disco Bird now that I have seen it in person. The scale, the material, and apparant craftsmanship, as well as the subtle lighting at night. I walked and drove past it several times today and this evening, and saw people staring and taki...

  • Hotel Sierra
    Today, 08:04 PM I don't recall seeing a large color rendering previously posted, so here it is (from the GC's website). Not bad....a good filler building, just hoping the back-side is ok.

    Today, 07:00 PM They should consider allowing people to vote on raising the tax from 1/2 cent to a penny. That probably wouldn't go over very well right now, but maybe in a year or two??

    Today, 04:42 PM Bad news for the Red Line. Governor Purdue has decided to not list the Red Line as the "alternate" or "#2" priority for NC's share of potential TIGER grant. This means that Charlotte and CATS will be going it alone in lobbying for this money...and means the chances of...
  • Charlotte's Light Rail: Lynx Blue Line
    Today, 04:38 PM Good news for the BLE... The FTA has agreed to letting CATS modify the future ridership model to take into account current Blue Line ridership. This means at current cost estimates the BLE qualifies for Federal Funding Here is the excerpt sent to City Council in a ...
  • Charlotte Elections 09
    Today, 04:16 PM I still can't believe how well Democrats did here last night. I know the O speculated on a Democratic wave a few weeks ago and they came close to nailing it but I really did not sense it at all. The results add balm to my bruised partisan heart in regards to our nati...
