  1. What was NCs’ get it done city before Charlotte? Or has it always been CLT?
  2. I see a NCNB/NationsBank/Bank of America building. Where's First Union/Wachovia/Wells Fargo?
  3. Monsoon was the father of all contrarians lol. Comeback Monsoon!
  4. Ok can someone tell me out of all the things on here the city decriminalized masturbation in public?
  5. Hey Professor I for one would love to hear more about Charlottes' seedier past. Or any Charlotte history pre 1980.
  6. Maaan bring back the old JFG sign. It was so homey
  7. Does anyone know if the city needed the office space when the NCNB, Jefferson Pilot, and Wachovia towers were built in the early 70s??? Or were they vanity projects like the Bank of America Corporate Center.
  8. How that name stayed on that building that long is beyond me
  9. I went to a White Party back in the late 90s on the top of the Jefferson Pilot Building. Aka 2 First Union. Aka 2 Wells Fargo. 32 stories up. Highest I've been in any building in Charlotte. They should open that space back up again. Great views
  10. Does anyone have an update of what kind or when the lighting of this building will be on? Are they still testing?
  11. Wow a home improvement store is higher on the list then a bank in Charlotte.
  12. Hey Kayman so what kind of city government would you like in Charlotte? Strong mayor? Mayoral veto? Council president? 4 year council terms?
  13. I have fond memories of this place. They had real good western NC BBQ. Now leaving after a Hornets game was a nightmare. What was the reasoning behind building it out in the "burbs"? Especially with Harvey Gantt being mayor at the time I think.
  14. Los Angeles had a height restrictions on its buildings since 1904. No buildings over 13 stories. The ordinance was finally overturned in 1958. I think their city hall was the only exception in those 54 years.
  15. I just don’t get it. South Mecklenburg and North Meck same demographics. Didn’t hear a peep from the latter about their toll roads. How did North Meck expect new roads, capacity? The NCDot has stated multiple times it’s BROKE. Then I thought it was southern thing. But Florida, Georgia, Texas cities are covered with toll roads.
  16. Never got the love for Brooklyn. From pictures I've seen and what I've read the Brooklyn that was demolished was a slum that took up a quarter of uptown. Not the Brooklyn of vibrant shops, schools and churches that it was back in the day
  17. I never got why Ed Crutchfield at First Union didn't build One First Union Center, 42 stories, taller. It was only 2 stories taller then NCNB old headquarters, 40 stories
  18. What ever happened to the space that Slugs 30th edition had? I went to a White party there in 1995 when I first moved here.
  19. CSA numbers. So close to 3m and top 20 CSA. Big surprise at Chicago no longer #3
  20. Keep them coming!!! https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2021/05/27/usaa-charlotte-office-square-south-end.html?ana=TRUEANTHEMFB_CH&csrc=6398&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook
