    I was confounded at not finding the "lite" option via menu or button, so looked up, it is a querystring parameter, so for others: https://www.google.com/maps/?force=lite (just don't zoom in so close it goes to 3D mode, or a year or so will be lost)

    Prices on par or even slightly lower than the museum tower, and smaller floorplans, the one bedrooms anyway, interesting.

    That seems like a lot to pack into 4.27 acres, implying some height? Or does the standard 2 levels of concrete and 5 of stick above suffice?

    Was wondering about the pricing, I had checked the availability a couple of years ago and couldn't understand the numbers, although my intuitive objection was more because of floor-plan/layout (awkward and wasted space) against the price being asked. Maybe that's perfectly normal, but if neighbor related is that simply a noise factor, or things in the hallways/common spaces?

    What feedback were you given, or too controversial? An adjacent grocery would help but don't see how that would be a reason with the HT a few blocks away, and other options.

    I gave you a "like", but hate you a little too for ingraining that in my head.... baaastard.

    ^ It will need to or Orlando and San Antonio [metros] will overtake us soon, quite a bit before we can supplant Baltimore and St. Louis. Wrong thread I know. I have assumed renderings thus far were more massing than anything else, the Observer recently had more "detailed" and flashier images, I like the signature building more after having seen those, hopefully there is accuracy in those.

    If I recall, the issue with the above is the cost in maintaining it, in the short-term things will be fine, but long-term and the unknown/instability that comes inherently from that, need a better model than the Dallas cap park imo. Great quote from that though, around public-private partnership being a reason for Dallas' greater rate of growth and success, lessons there certainly.

    Have had an open mind (sometimes reluctantly) about your posts, but whats up with the above? Do YOU see anything constructive about it other than an exaggerated secondary statement that does not successfully distract from the first? Make an argument, with facts, not a baseless opinion on which anyone can tell you are inciting drama based on where you have posted it.

    1 (MSP) and 3 (DTW) have great bars/brews and restaurants but I always seem to be unlucky in having to go from one corner of each to the other, lessening my agreement there but perhaps that is just luck of the draw. CLT's hub/spoke design does make this less a bit less an issue.

    ^ Hahahaha, yeah, I don't think so. I saw that earlier, there are no markings I can see at least, that's a generation in training type of concept.

    ^ We sent back the camel steaks ourselves once when that was the featured meat, but beyond that their food is almost beyond reproach. I'd give it another chance and try some of the small plates/sides, I would drive an hour and half right now just for a salad with their basil vinaigrette were I "in-town" (GSO), only restaurant I've been to where that tastes right.

    Roundabouts are fairly common where I am now (Milwaukee area), and I have grown to like them, can be somewhat laborious at interstate exchanges, but still more free flowing as noted above. The one thing I wonder is how well they work when the intersection is a high volume one and there are multiple lanes, and drivers needing to cross those lanes. Not necessarily the Paris scene from National Lampoons, but a practical scenario.

    Hmmm, would appear to be more than a few candidates fitting those hints, how far away are we talking?

    If there is some food and beer relationship it would have to be a local law and not an ABC or state-wide one, other World of Beer locations, for example, have full menus. From a business standpoint though, not sure I would bother with a kitchen either in Charlotte, the food truck and restaurant scene, depending on location, makes it not worth it.

    DH Griffin is a beast, and I assume, will make money from the scrap so makes sense to be speedy.

    Interesting perspectives of the intersections/sides navigator and birky, that is a lot tighter than I would have thought, hard to imagine the windy green space with all it entails fitting along 3rd.

    ^ That used to annoy me as well until I spent time living in a few places in which development was interstate oriented, made for very lifeless and artificial feeling spaces. But yeah here you have to hurriedly point out to people the glimpses of urbanity hiding behind the canopy.

    Nice, but you should film more in Charlotte man.

    It read as if their calculations include sports team per capita, which would make larger population cities, like Houston, which is unbearably worse than CLT, fall off the list. Stupid.

    ^ Dude, don't give me vertigo AND a panic attack like that! Perspective is a b!tch.

    Someone with a real camera can get awesome pics from LeMeridien (sp?), this from 17th floor room and my phone.

    ^ I'd guess all of the levels of parking, most garages I've been in are pretty low heights, and the plates aren't terribly thick either.

    Europa Universalis 4.

    I suppose this is worldwide (Paradox is not a US company), which makes this all the more awesome, don't know if it was the last update or the one before that changed the region name, but I've been playing this game for many years and until now have had to rename this region myself:
