Don't have the energy to find the thread if it exists, but the 37 story apartment tower behind The Garrison sounds like a go. I know.....

Something is afoot . There was drilling in the Ivey's garage 2 weeks ago. Security specifically called out new construction and this parking garage.

I happen to think by mid/late 2021, Uptown will be chugging along. There are 20+ restaurant/bar concepts, 2 food halls, and more in the pipeline. Throw in low rents for establishments that have permanently closed that are now receiving interest from quality restaurant groups and it's a substantial influx. This is the wrong thread, but it's inline with convo. Our state, county and city have failed our local businesses. Open up outdoor space, take initiative and use some ingenuity. NYC is doing it, even Denver is doing it. They embrace civility and enforce the law. There's absolu

Incentives handed out pre Great Recession had a high failure rate. Interesting... At least all of the failed incentives referenced in the article were in Mecklenburg county Moving on

You're justifying your argument with an article that's 5 years old and covers incentives handed out before the crash. Do you have an updated source?

So you don't like him personally. Noted. If only he'd have asked to shave his trophy wife's legs before they were married.

Right... Because... He forced Luke to retire and hasn't allowed him back into the locker room. He didn't resign Thomas Davis who barely beat replaceable level via PFF He didn't resign Greg Olsen. The often injured and bench rated player via PFF He didn't extend Ron Rivera who refuses to evolve, was likely carried by a healthy Cam during his winning years, and at worst needed a change of scenery. He doesn't know what to do with Cam Newton. BC who does. Is he healthy? Will he ever be? He hired two of the most sought after college coaches by many teams in the NFL.

Heard last night that the contractor working on the trolley line was never told about the structure or grade changes happening at Trade St. It's slowed down both projects considerably. Who doesn't love a good public-private partnership.

Have to chime in bc I recently moved here. The apartments are decent at best and the amenities are on point, but this garage is one of the easiest and most accessible garages uptown. Parking validation notices are everywhere in Whole Foods. They will even come out to validate it if you call in. It's really that simple. That said.... It's only happened once, but DO NOT get stuck in a whole foods parking deck during lunch hour when the parking arms are malfunctioning. Holy nightmare! Now back on topic

haha Yup But to be fair.... The developer took a massive loss on the project. We're lucky he cared enough to finish it.

Hey, I named that building. Be nice ;-) But you're right... And IF only the exterior remotely resembled the interior.

Can't confirm it's a reliable source, but... Suite is closing, Kandy is closing, Vault is on it's way out, Dale is fed up with BMG at Whiskey, and I believe I might be missing one more closing. Bubble will be a Foot Locker, Lebrettos will be another pizza joint, and the new owners are pushing family friendly restaurants and soft goods hard.
