Drove by the site of the Carolina Logistics Park on the Downs Rd side and if you need a tower crane 2 companies on Downs Rd alone!  Plus a few of downtown Pineville and their new Police station.  Today.   Downtown Pineville 100% occupancy on the storefronts! 

Just a quick correction, the police station has been there for a minute. The town is building a new town hall and library with open civic space next to it on all the unused front "yard" of the police station.

Thanks for all the great photos KJHburg! Pineville definitely is a little gem.

The top floor of the new apartments in the corner of Brevard at Brooks has some of the best views from NoDa.

Terrible photo quality, but managed to get this of a Camaro ZL1 1LE who happened to get on 85 next to me in Gaston. First one I've seen. It was funny to see a "plain" 5.0 mustang begin to tailgate him not even realizing that this wasn't just the average Camaro in front of him. Mr ZL1 wasn't even phased.

Sorry, I missed this as well. When I got off this morning, I had to drop by my mom's to put together her new recliner before continuing on with more errands. Ain't no rest for the wicked.

My favorite quote from that article, "Steering in the old sedan could be best described as “immediately vague.”"

I genuinely think any and all calls for the preservation of Hall House should be unified in message, and having both an alternate proposal at hand, in addition to making Inlivan looking as bad and inept as possible, is key. By pointing out Inlivan's... well... hypocrisy, in addition to their ineptitude, of sitting on incredibly valuable real estate that they're doing nothing with, while both simultaneously squandering other, even more valuable real estate only TWO BLOCKS away while unnecessarily complicating and diminishing important North Tryon redevelopment plans, you can really create a major PR debacle

Jason and Clayton. Make. This. Happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't CHA/Inlivian own Edwin towers? If "affordable housing in uptown" is their claim, why aren't they developing an entire block that houses only one building? Tear down that eye sore rather than Hall.

A 7 floor apartment building with ground floor retail will built in the excess land beside the mill, with the hope of leveraging/funding mixed-income housing to be built in the rest of the mill. The older building fronting 36th is not salvageable and has major structural issues and will be torn down.

Here's a photo of part of the collapse in the building fronting 36th. I took this almost 2 years ago when touring the mill.

Not to mention the Food Lion Auto Fair showing off that culture. I grew up going to it. 

 

This isn't very expensive (yes but not by supercar standards) or really that rare, but it was cool seeing my first AEV Prospector XL in Charlotte. 

I guess my speed is a little different than others...

 

P.S. Though I'm not a Ford guy, that new Bronco, right?! Can't wait to see my first here in the QC.

Me personally, I've mostly used the term "main bedroom" in a multi bedroom residence.  For some reason "master" bedroom conjures up an image of lust and sexuality.....you know...a dominatrix in her leather and whips!!

Lord, this comment was "this" close to making me spit my coffee this morning. Thanks for the laugh. 2 days straight at work, I needed this. Lol

I'm twist turned around, is it the 2 story or the one story knife place?

[Affordable Housing in Charlotte]

Yeah, not even just for homeless too. I'd of liked a cheaper option like this when I was young and single. In other words what you said lol.

I wonder if something like this could affordability in Charlotte where people have private bathrooms and bedrooms aka single occupancy and shared living and kitchen areas.

This is just a neat design from the Swiss.

McCreesh and Moore Place apts are like this, though they are more targeted to helping those affected by homelessness and drug abuse.

Mangoes also seems to have closed. Building has been painted and has had work going on inside.

Also the charter of the town of Charlotte was granted on Dec. 3 1768.    in addition  there are reasons I think this date is important due to an event that happened at Mercy Hospital LOL

Fair enough, I guess then I disagree with how you're using simpleton. I'm no English major by any means but usually simpleton refers to just a foolish person. By saying simpleton post, I saw that as a "foolish man's post". Anybody good in the English? 

P.S. I really would like to know the answer of the use of simpleton. I really don't know, my googling ain't helping.

Where did I name call? It was a simpleton post which was disinformation and I stand by that. 

I'll use this post as an example. I stand by you correcting disinformation.

Malice? I was correcting the poster's disinformation. Poster gave a outdated figure and compared it with annual totals. That's disinformation. Then said the models were bogus. 

Yes, I interpreted the name calling as malice. You're correct to make sure people know that 2 months of C19 deaths is not equal to a yearly total of something else. It's much more.

Again, 

 

That's why you correct when neccessary, I'm purely advocating for how you do that correcting. Your points only go half as far when delivered with malice.
