Everybody has probably seen the satellite photos of China's reduction in pollution. I'm curious to see more world pollution levels but especially here.

Here you go. The place with the red dot below it on the first one is CLT. You can also see the brightness of the triad/triangle. NC's city pollution becomes undetectable in the second map which an overlay of the exact same place.

You can see ATL in the bottom left of both maps and Washington DC in the top right.

Loving the color combos between the two buildings.

I have lived in the United States for 13 years now and I still hate the name of Fifth Third Bank. 

Sounds like they can't do math! 

[KJHburg]

As a 5/3 customer with my business I will tell you the story if you have not heard it.   Back in 1909, 2 Cincinnati banks were merging the Third National Bank and the 5th National Bank.  The name 3/5 Bank was totally unacceptable at that time as it refers to you guessed it liquor!   Back in 1909 there were not these branding agencies to come up with cute new names for things so 5/3 stuck and it was better than 3/5.   

Now I truly think the name is so unique they should keep it forever or until they get bought out.    And believe me they have heard every joke about it the employees.

Throwback Tuesday the start of the Stonewall St area boom.  The 615 South College building in 2016.

They should rename it 1.67 Bank.

Fifth Third Bank isn't such a great name, but it's better than Truist.

How about Almost 2 Bank

If Christopher Cross were there, he might have sung:

When you get caught between the moon and [the Queen City]

I know it's crazy
But it's true
If you get caught between the moon and [the Queen City]
The best that you can do
The best that you can do is fall in love

I knew someone was going to get a great shot last night. Mglbach, a beautiful pic.  The moon looks enormous. You got some mad skills.

Thank you so much!!

In other news I hope everyone survived the storms last night and this morning!

on my way to eat some Latin street food on the street of course snapped a few shots on the way.  Drive and a few walk bys.   Notice in the 4th photo what building is starting to poke up the Ellis.

DEC2 is going to fill in that gap perfectly. I still want to see at least 2 or 3 400+ footers between there and BofA. 

[CharlotteWkndBuzz]

I’m really surprised no one has swept up that lot between the Ascent and the ball park. Last blank canvas in that area...seems like it would be a killer location for a tower.
