[Signature Tower]

I always wondered how Charlotte is compared to nashville in anyway.

We are the banking capital {aside from NYC but know one else is close to charlotte

Wow, So wachovia is building a 40 story tower. How in the world do you compare charlotte to nashville.

And ya on M's defense He is quick to state flaws in projects.

There isn't any really isn't any comparison as these are different types of projects.

The signature tower is a condo tower and the developer has to have enough interest from buyers before he can get the funding to build the thing. This apparently has not happened yet.

The Wachovia tower is an office tower the bank is building for its own needs, and it is already under construction. Oddly enough, the bank has not released any official drawings, renderings or anything else about this tower.

Questions such as this are one of the reasons that I am quick to clamp down on this thread. (not you Heckles) Some have suggested the reason I stated my opinion of the Signature tower as being ugly and doing nothing for the street level, is because I am from Charlotte. If anyone knows me, they will know that I have lobbed the same complaints about many of the projects in my own city. An badly designed skyscraper is a badly designed skyscraper, and it doesn't matter to me where it is located. We are here to advocate for better cities, not building towers. I don't know why this is so difficult for some to understand.

USairways orders:

A-320 ~5

A-321 ~28 {Similiar to the 757}

A-330 ~10

A-350-800 stretch super wide body ~20

ERJ 190 {NOT regional, has first class} 57

Write Now US has 9 A-330's. US has some things up there sleeves and new destination but these orders are to come in 2009.This Puts US in a very good position to benfit majorly from another Merger.

There is really no Hub Overlap probs. , Excpet Ronald reagan , And Dulles. There both part of Star Alliance.

A Strong East Coast Domination & A Good carribean Presence & a good european presence & Good Asian presence & Good West Coast presence. that would be a good Merger in my viewpoint.

How it would benefit charlotte? Probably...nothing.

[Charlotte Pride]

Did i say something that bad?When I said i'm more of a gastonia person, that had nothing to do with gays.

And 2nd, I said i have NO probelm with other people being gay, if you want to thats yo biz.And yes i do want to protect my kids form it because i have different beliefs.I have no problem with othre people being athiest,

potheads, gay. It doesnt affect my life at all.

[Charlotte Pride]

First off, i said It doesnt bother me that yall are.I said I dont want my kids around it.

And second~I'm Mexican.You think it bothers Me you dont like it...no.

And 3rd~I dont need nobodies 0 cents.

You know, I see no point to such a response in this thread as it only goes to demonstrate you are either fairly ignorant and backwards or a bigot or both. BTW, I have met many many Gay people that do live in Gastonia and while they do say they have to put up with BS from some people for the most part they don't have any problems there. My guess is none of them live near you and I feel sorry for your kids.

I never cease to be amazed by people who call themselve's religious who go out of their way to make themselves a pain in the ass to everyone else. Don't bother the people in this thread again with your self righteous nonsense and I would consider this a warning if I were you. (thankfully I'm not)

[Charlotte Pride]

I'm very conservative. So, you all probably know my out look on it.I dont mind people doing there little thing, but I just dont want my kids near it.I love charlotte, Im just more of a Gastonia person.Yall can do your little pride thing, as long as I can do my religious thing.

KoQ did they ever release the plans/renderings for the Wachovia scraper in Charlotte? How can they start building without approval from the city? I know in Nashville they try to micromanage everything including the design (too much time) but I would think since tax dollars are actually going into the development public disclosure would be demanded.

Then Wachovia will beat that Then one day BOA

A person can Dream

Hey now. You never know what Atlanta is going to do. We may just be waiting for Sig to dig and then make our secret announcement. You know the announcement. Shhhhh.

If completed on schedule in 2009, Nashville will only get to enjoy bragging rights for about 12 months. Then they may get "Trumped".

[Signature Tower]

Wachovia will have the Largest uptown charlotte office space{ Sq. Feet wise}

SO thats positive news on our side.

I hope yall get sig. tower and beat Atlantas Tower
