Lowes tower today from all angles.  the parking deck annex so to say is topped off the office tower portion has 12 more floors to go.  This tower towers over everything nearby and is going to have great views in all directions.    Good thing I am drawn to this area every week or so as I will end up with more photos of this than any tower in town.

That view from the alley next to Superica - um......yeah......  Nice wall.

[kermit]

^ that is really a bummer. That was the best alley in Charlotte before it got 'parked'

[KJHburg]

The so called Superica alley needs you wall art of some sort and they are sitting patrons out there in the alley now.

Maybe @KJHburg could offer some of your Charlotte photos! Build the alley into a photography exhibit dedicated to Charlotte development over the years.

Whenever I see a view like that, I think, that's probably what downtown Juneau or Boise looks like.

[videtur quam contuor]

Fun fact: Boise is French and means "wooded". Bois(bwah)=wood;  boisé (bwa-zay)=wooded.

French were everywhere in central, north and western America before the English speakers. Names on the land.

I'll call [but afterwards quickly fold, because this is the only one I happen to know]:

Des Moines means "The Monks"!!  Apparently the earliest European settlers in the area were evangelist Catholic monks, in the 18th century.

Don’t hate on Boise!  It actually has a nice little skyline is a great town .  And fun fact: it has the largest concentration of Basques in the US.

There were French and French speakers throughout the East, Midwest, and West before the English speakers arrived. The Spanish had the Southwest but all the rivers and lakes and lands between, Maine to Mobile to the Cascade Mountains in the U. S. and throughout Canada was French explored and named.  One of my favorites is Detroit. d'étroit means "of the strait". Étroit=strait, a narrow water passage. This étroit is between Lake St Clair and Lake Erie. Très simple, non?

I never knew there was a webcam for this! Think they'd let me up there to get it not so crooked?

Naw Spirit76 did a great install

I was by here last night just before dark and there was welding or something on the backside of the parking deck, level three or four, sparks flying down. Also the major crane was working until just before dark, later than I expected.

our favorite high rise only half way up believe it or not in Southend.  From a couple of angles close up and afar. Yesterday.
