Nice set. I really like the skyline framed by the palms. Really cool.

I don't think I'd ever appreciated how big that Marriott is

^Wow 

I discovered today my favorite bench in the city... and it made me wish Solstice rented its upstairs out as residences.

3rd ward used to be the most embarrassing area. Even 5 years ago. Now it's a showcase.

I'd call this Mid 90s. if it were late 525 N. Tryon and Fifth Third Center would be finished or under construction. Neither have begun, but panthers stadium is complete, so I'd call this 1996.

I can't believe you didn't call out the Wachovia Plaza banner!

Damn it. I was too busy trying to give the video a date. I missed that. THANKS! So freaking cool!

Can't wait for Ascent to finish and for the new Knights building to get started!  We host international friendlies for soccer, why not baseball . . . or more college series . . . etc.  I feel like BB&T has just hit the tip of the iceberg of what it can be in the future.  It's killing projections and still has room to grow!

Is that a new extended netting at BBT Field, as required by MLB. It looks to go to the dugout. I do not recall if that is an extension to the netting from years past.

There were literally tens of places to go. And hundreds of parking spots. Who doesn't like that ratio?

[alb1no panther]

It was sooooo awesome.  You could get a Wendy's burger at citifair and you had thousands of parking spaces to choose from with almost no competition!  You could even cross the street for a leisurely web surfing session via the charlotte's web dial-up connection at the library and there was no extra cost for the additional hour of parking you used while your lycos search results loaded.

Another throwback, from wikipedia: 

Circa November 2005. Look at all those parking lots!!
