My company is a startup at WeWork at 128 S Tryon St until our new office is ready in 6 months. I was just thinking this might be a cool place for us to have a meetup one day, as it’s on the 21st floor and has nice sweeping views of uptown in every direction. Would anyone be interested in coming up and talking urban development one day? (I hear one of our forum celebrities might be visiting soon , we may even be able to lure him into attendance haha) (Also may be great for a window washer to pitch there services lol)

 

Yes the windows are dirty at that location.  I need to come by so the staff doesn't forget me over there LOL,

Depends on timing of course, but I'm interested.

[KJHburg]

and all the free Coffee while it lasts LOL there are limits on the taps now due to financial concerns.

I thought it was financial too but staff explained it was bc it was found through surveys that ppl though it promoted a “bro” environment and a woman was assaulted by a drunk employee at a location. They aren’t getting rid of taps at the location, but switching the taps from beer to a variety of cold brew coffee, Kampuchea , and nitro tea.

Awesome, anyone interested put a comment here by Thursday and I’ll get some sort of group chat together where we can coordinate a time

Count me in. The view from First Citizens is really impressive, and Charlotte is so full-up with tower cranes now that there'll be lots to talk about.

Wait...what??

I wasn't aware that alcohol there was a thing. These kids today.... Sometimes it's OK to be old fashioned and not let people get all schwasty at work.

What a view! Looks amazing! 

[KJHburg]

Okay later in March we should have a UP meeting again maybe at Optmist Hall (especially since this place opened https://felixempanadas.com/ ) hopefully it will be warmer later in the month  and we can sit outside.  What days are better for most people weeknights as the sunset starting tomorrow which be much later or weekend night.  I am pretty flexible.  Lets look maybe the last week or so. 

Optimist Hall transit accessible via LYNX and has a parking lot too.  

[tozmervo]

I'm SOL the 25 and 26 of March. Other days look good

[nicholas]

Monday and Wednesday nights don't work for me, and sometimes I'm in Raleigh on weekends, but pretty much any other time should be fine.

[Guest]

Virtual Meetup sometime guys?

[KJHburg]

I think we should do this. I finally downloaded Zoom but was given the wrong meeting code and was never able to meet up with the group I was supposed to but I digress. 

But it might be a good idea @Tyree Ricardo  suggest some times and method of communication.

Would anyone be up for a UP Zoom Virtual  Meetup Happy Hour?

[Guest]

Social Distancing meetup? Zoom Meetup? Anyone????

[KJHburg]

I would say somewhere outside on a patio spread out rather than Zoom.  

[Hushpuppy321]

I’d be open for either option.  In person patio or zoom.

[Guest]

anyone else? 

[videtur quam contuor]

patio, yes. I need a reason to escape the house.

I was thinking about Optimist Hall outside courtyard but I think it gets the afternoon sun.  Is there some place at Camp Northend outside or maybe the Charlotte Beer Garden on one of those decks.

We could space ourselves out and drive others away from the area by talking development standards, debates on building design sure to get some running to the exits 

But all I ask is some place with some food options..... 

 

[704Dimitri]

I’m here for this! 

[KulBC]

Yes!!! 

[Norm2]

I might be down

[jtmonk]

I'm down for either depending on the day and time.

[MarcoPolo]

I may be able to swing a Zoom Bar gathering, if still an option.
