They use to allow this but I'm not sure now. The Piedmont pulled a baggage car with it and a dome car but both of those faded away. They even advertised the specials on bringing your bike along. Im not sure what happened to that.

Just came on BET...Neo-Sexy Love

Nice pics. Im actually suprised as I always thought it was smaller than that. For some reason I was thinking it was more of a 30-40,000 peep town. I think I might need to pay a little more attention to the Nashville area.

OMG i love that part. Heck I love Greenville. Long storie short, we had to meet my cuz from Atlanta there to pick him up(they didnt want to drive the whole way) and they ended up being late. So instead of me and my moms sitting at Haywood all day we went downtown. I told my moms how nice Greensville downtown is and how other cities look up 2 it. I think she was expecting a Greensboro/elm st. thing but once we turned on main she was blown away. (keep in mind shes a small town person, she doesnt want to leave lexington) After being backed up on main, we went down to falls park and walked around. It really took our breathaway. I wish we could have explored more of downtown and the city but we got the call and went down to Haywood to meet them(which is a really nice looking mall). Mom said if it wasen't for the fact that we just bought a house in T-ville she wouldnt mine moving there. I can see now we will be stopping there a little more often on our way to ATL or wherever.

I was looking at local live last night and saw the new birds eye of King of Prussia mall in PA. Now thats a pretty big mall, but I like the way they expanded. You can tell, as they have a big walkway across the parking lot to the new section were Macys and stuff is. I doubt SouthPark would and a second floor, but even with that expansion idea I don't see anywere they could expand out. Unless they build a mid rise with office space and some more retailers. Just a thought.

Fox 8 showed that clip again. Basically they said everything the papers are saying, about Charlottes big money but more crowds at ATL. Also they hinted on the fact of attendence numbers 10-20 years down the road. They interview some people up a Lowes Motor Speedway which were pushing for Charlotte. The news anchors them selfs were also going for Charlotte. Ethier way, Atlanta, Charlotte or Daytona. I think the hall will be successfull. I'm personaly going for Charlotte, but thats just me. Just kno u have the Triad on your side. Lol. Now let me go to bed. Gots school in da morning.

I didn't catch the whole article, but fox 8 just said Charlotte looks to lose. I caught like the last 5 sec of the clip. If anyone else saw it, please feel me in.

I agree with everything on that. My personal prefrence is Atlanta and Dallas be switched. But thats just me. Otherwise, you hit the money on everything. I would also add Winston as #9 or 10. Also can't forget MB, Cola, and Norfolk.

I agree on that one. Hate em, but my mama loves em. Cooks every thanksgiving or christmas.

Yea, I agree with you on that point. But LV is becoming the most unique city here in the west. As far as capacity and water, I thinck LV will be able to sustain itself. If Phoneix and it's metro has been large and growing for the last 20 years or so and it hasent had any major problems. LV will keep growing, but I don't see it as the king of the West anytime soon.

What is the future of rail in NC? As most of us know, Bush is planning on shuting down Amtrak by the end of this fisical year. He plans on supportting Amtrak's high speed northeast corridor and leaving the rest of the system on a 50/50 deal with the states. NC is one of the few states that actually supports rail and is trying to improve it. The state has restored or rebuilt many historic stations threw out the state and even helps run some of the daily train service. The Piedmont provides daily service between Charlotte and Raleigh, the Carolinian provides daily service between Charlotte and New York City(via Richmond, DC). The state is also served by the Cresent(New York-Atlanta-New Orleans) and the Silver Star, Silver Meteor and the Palmetto(New York-Savannah-Miami). If Amtrak was to be shut down Gastonia, Southern Pines, Hamlet and Fayetteville would all lose rail service. All those stations(except Gastonia) have recently restored stations and it would be a shame to lose service to those stations. So in your opinion what do you thinck the state should do to improve rail service in NC if Amtrak is shut down. A third round trip for the Piedmont is already in the states plan along with high speed rail. Wilmington and Asheville service is already in the works also. Sorry for the long post but I was just wanted to say my opinion. Any comments?
