Really big plane landing today. Sorry for bad image, it was moving and I was zoomed really far in my cell phone

C-17 Globemaster.  The Charlotte Air National Guard Base traded their C-130s for these guys.  Love watching them take off and land.  They typically fly in and out about twice a day.

GRABBED A STILL! BIG CITY ALERT!

At about 2:20 in that video, there is a lot of running/activity on the pool deck at the Vue.

these photos exemplify what I call Charlotte Rising.   Look at the 4 steel beams rising at Ally at TP and this is why construction can be a dangerous business.  And I caught another slab of the precast garage going up too.  Today.

To me this shot highlights why 1LU makes a great addition to the skyline. Even if you’re not a fan of the architecture you can’t deny its impact when it comes to density. I still can’t wait to see the pyramid lit up at night!

Weather could not be much better in the Queen City right now!  Views from East of Uptown and UNCC Center City building.

Love the view from the South Blvd bridge 2nd photo.   Grace Church aka Chalmers Reformed Church where Billy Graham attended as a kid.

There are very few ice cream shops uptown but I've said before, jeni's ice cream would kill it at the spot above stonewall/whole foods. Today at Hawkers. Rail trail btw was super busy. This is how we distinguish our city, hope every business along the trail goes all out.

I thought Jeni’s was local until I saw one in LA this week. 

 

When I went to CLT in like Feb, it was around 37F, 8ish pm if I recall, and there was a line out the door. I was surprised because it was freezing.

Happy Sunday! I have always been partial to the view looking north at the Park Rd / Fairview intersection.

I've always been a fan of this spot too. I like how the skyline seems to float above the treeline.

from the Legacy 2 OxBlue camera   this is one booming city!

So LU2 is above-ground?  It should be topped out by next summer I'd imagine.

Look in the center bottom of that OxBlue photo and those concrete columns are apart of Legacy 2

It'll be bold and say that it'll be topped out by October of THIS year.

I’ll be pleased to see it when I attend the auto show in November and hopefully, a Panthers game in October.
