Man, these are spectacular shots. I think its safe to say that you should definitely post the others if you have more!

[Rural King]

I for one would most definately like to see the rest of your pics! Those are some very unique shots, and the last one is superb!

[sleepy]

The pics don't show up for me.

[soverbey]

me neither!

Excellent shots of Memphis!

I was so impressed by that last shot, I put it in my photoshop and doctored it a bit. Decreased the lighting on the sky and brought out the colors of the buildings a bit. Cropped and editied.

Here is the finished product.....

Very nice pictures. I bet a panoramic from up on that garage would be awesome. Get me the shots, and I would love to put it together for you mandrws1!!!

Wow! thanks for the pics, those are pretty good! Keep showing them. I would show some more of my pics, but my camera has accidently been taken to Springfeild, Illinois. I should get it back in late May though.

does anyone know of any plans to put some sign on top of 100 north main

[Rural King]

I haven't heard of any. It seems like it would still be a great place to advertise via a logo. Does the building even have any major tenants currently?

I know government agencies & law firms occupy the building. There is one pretty big company thats there too that does background checks. I can't remember the name of it. I think that it has a high occupancy rate though.

They shoulda left the sign up and had UrbanPlanet.org relocate its corporate offices to the UP building.

That housing project in the middle, with the lowrises and the high rise--is that part of the redeveloped, mixed-income Lauderdale Courts?

Its called Uptown Square now. I was thinking about moving there about a year ago until I sold my house, but the rents are extremely high. I don't see how its mixed use. It could be that I just think too much because I would always tell my girlfriend that we could by two houses in our current neighborhood for the price of renting one three bedroom in Uptown Square.

[soverbey]

wow i had no idea they were that expensive, do you think that's due to its proximity to st.jude or what?

I don't know, but a three bedroom was $1,300+!!! I guess thats the going rate, but its to expensive IMO.

I was in Memphis again this week and I noticed that downtown looks better in person. Nice to see a lot of construction going on.

Yeah, you don't get the real positive forward-moving feel and vibe of Memphis until you visit downtown in person. Knoxville, TN is similar in that regard too IMO.

Glad you liked downtown from your visit.
