There is much more to the measurement of the unemployment rate than simply measuring those seeking benefits. It is important to remember the stat is a parameter of measurement that remains constant throughout time to provide some level of insight. If you want to capture the people excluded from the unemployment rate there are other statistics that do so.

The procession is more about allowing the group to arrive at the funeral site together. It really sucks to hold up a burial because someone was caught up in traffic; even worse to proceed without someone.

500 West Trade (14 story apartments on site of former Polk Building)
hueion39 replied to UrbanCharlotte's topic in Charlotte
I appreciate the history info DubOne. However, I do not believe the history related to WBT or the car dealership rise to the level needed to impose limits on someone else's property rights. Regarding the architects' work and era related impact, I believe documenting the building through photos would be important. -

Perhaps I am unaware, but what historical significance does this building carry? I generally prefer to save buildings with historical events tied to them. However, I wouldn't want to save it simply because it is old. -
Umm, dead bodies are not so pleasant.

For Speed Street, it will almost have to be a concert area. There are fewer and fewer lots available.

sleightofhand, who made the comment, it a very credible source on this specific tower.

I was ok with the J&W development. I believe the rotating cynergy of youth offsets the building.

I prefer to say that History does not stand in the way of Progress.... Charlotte's history is now. -
The N Club in Greensboro is an old theatre converted to a bar/nightclub. It has been a staple nightclub for some time now. The dance floor actually has the phased slope which works well for concerts. Charlotte could actually take a few notes from what the owner has done with that club and a couple others in Greensboro.

Citibank announced today that they are moving 9,500 jobs to lower cost locations...

A gentle nudge from the 49th floor balcony...

Maybe BofA will allow some large scale marketing on that wall... or at least a mural of Omeka, May, and Felton!

It would be an interesting play to mention Charlotte. The state already supports 2 of their minor leauge affiliates... The Grasshoppers in Greensboro (A) and the Mudcats is Zebulon (AA), just east of Raliegh. Both have very nice stadiums.

That will make my walk home from work a little more enjoyable... Do you know what buildings are going to fill in the remaining 3/4 ths of the block? You mentioned the firehouse, any midrises?

Will there be first level retail in the deck... ala, Stool Pigeons?
-
What would happen to those who purchased the penthouse level?
-
I voted for the stadium.... It was privately funded. This was another case of a few people shouting real loud to force an issue. The stadium passed 2 to 1 by the voters. What still gets me is that the most vocal opposition to the stadium were those who lived on the edge of downtown! Downtown comes with a bit of noise and light, even without a stadium. I would very much like to see the new baseball proposal in 2nd ward go through.

The bushes and trees along the perimeter are being removed today.

Any speculation on height?

This is only an editorial, but the vision is hopeful.... http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/stori...editorial2.html

Would that lead you to believe the Polk Bldg is a possible site?

Cotton Mills is ten stories on the 6th St side, with the first level as parking.

Did anyone think of Bosom Buddies?
