Charlotte I missed your skyline while out in the southwest.  You may not be a Dallas a Fort Worth a San Antonio or a Houston but our skyline is beautiful and so are all the trees around town. 

Interesting comparison to Ft. Worth and San Antonio. I agree they have some unique buildings although I'm sure almost everyone would say Charlotte's skyline as a whole blows theirs out of the water. 

Certainly Dallas and Houston are more impressive though, as they should be given they are both the centers of top 5 metro areas by population in the country. Although I will say, Houston loses some points because of how oddly disjointed their skyline is. Random skyscrapers and pockets of high-rises dotted throughout the city - downtown itself is only decent (though very tall).

No I was just in Fort Worth and San Antonio (as well as Dallas and Houston) just meant I missed our skyline. Ours is much better than FW or SA for sure and we are gaining on Dallas downtown.  But Houston no we are not in their league and I am talking downtown.  

Charlotte and last 2 photos of downtown Houston which I could not get into one shot the skyline is so wide.  2nd photo is almost the whole skyline but I missing buildings to the right.

The contrast between these two photos illustrates how nicely a park/green space would fit as a replacement for the rail yard.

Why is the theme song from ‘Good Times’ suddenly in my head?   How sad and depressing looking.   Anyone know how many square feet that Belk was (*cough @KJHburg@tarhoosier)?  It’s huge!

Man I loved that show, reminds me of my childhood!  Lol…

Our skyline is better than Fort Worth's or San Antonio's but they have some unique buildings in their downtowns.   Charlotte's is getting more and more like Dallas's as their high rises have spread northward and out of the downtown core.   But the big D is still impressive. 

That’s what she said…

a couple I took today of our skyline first time I have seen the Duke signage up.  That FNB looks lonely over there but when that garage is redeveloped it won't be seen is my prediction from this angle.

Nice day on the greenway today. Thought the sign (at the bottom in blue) was a little sad.

Imagine this view with the Queens Bridge Collective towers, Intercontinental Hotel tower and the recently introduced Vela (I think....) tower. Wow. And I must say the Duke Energy tower looks fantastic.

Edit: Also the Overlook tower in the foreground will be awesome.

Southend. Shopped at Marine Layer and so happy they have a physical retail store here!

I was looking for tickets and noticed that the Panthers’ website has a  nice photo of the QC.

 

It’s hard to believe that this is what Clt looked like when I first saw it in the mid-90s.
