If you look how quickly downtown can disperse after a Panthers game (very quickly compared to most places), I think you'll see the infrastructure is very good for heavy traffic. LOL well the perimeter is a circle, so I'd imagine that you'd never get too far outside the city limits...

Oh its not a breakfast place. Its a 3am drunken place.

Those streets can handle MUCH more traffic. As an Atlanta resident, I always laugh when "traffic" is brought up in Charlotte.

They only have built on a third of the land on their current campus. With increased density, I find that approximation low. Im not sure they would ever reach that number, but i wish they would continue the efforts to bring a medical school to downtown campus and even a law program.

Downtown Atlanta has 4 lol. Downtown Athens also has a very nice one.

Just wait till Honeywell and STBBT have their HQ job announcements. Probably 5,000 short.

I hope its gold. New color that currently isn't in the skyline. I want a red building at some point...

The Mint Lot isn't probably long for this world, especially if a BB&T/SunTrust HQ happens at current duke, and if the panthers stay at the current site. Its too prime a location for 3/4 of a huge block with large street frontage to be tied up to a 6 story parking deck.

That has so much potential if it were the MLS stadium...

My buddy works for the law firm that manages most of the Sun Trust accounts, he said legacy BB&T will manage most of the top level legal decisions now. Also love the AJC front page today:

I need the follow up to this one. I really am anticipating MLS...

Yeah we are no where close to Atlanta's traffic and never will be. Charlotte has a much better designed road system. 2 major N/S interstates converging in the downtown area in a huge bend is unlike any other traffic causer this side of the 405 lol. People in Charlotte only typically need to use surface streets. Atlanta's streets are much older, poorly designed and hillier. Most people in Atlanta need to get on an interstate everyday to get to work. In Charlotte that just isnt the case.

Guys, can you imagine if US Bank or Wells actually moved their HQ to Charlotte? Nuts.

Yeah I was about to say, most BB&T facilities in Atlanta aren't bank branches but Real Estate and Mortgage operations. I think Atlanta will still have a large portion of that branch of the business. The Robinson Humphrey division is where most of the people I know are a part of.

Its revenues are a combined 23B so around 125 on the Fortune list, coincidentally between Duke Energy and Southern Company.
