Does anyone know if it is illegal or a traffic violation to stop in the middle of a cross walk instead of at the white line? I am really sick of close calls when walking to and from work in Uptown. People seem to think it

No more trees and a 10ft deep hole on part of the site. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2041/149145...5896e4d14_o.jpg

Onsite activity: This morning there is a group of about 5 or 6 walking the site and reviewing the building plans. Looks like construction could start soon. ???

I really like the idea of a small amphitheater. Even though it's indoors, something like the amphitheater and fountain at the Operyland Hotel in Nashville would be awesome. It would be really unique. http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordopryland/360s/delta_atrium_low.cfm http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordopryland/tour/tour_delta.cfm The fountain puts on an hourly show shooting up to 85 feet in the air. Then at night it's done with lights in a way that the fountain looks like a fireworks show.

It's really sad that another person died in an accident on 77. Is it me or are drivers in Charlotte out of control?

I believe they had said construction would start this summer. It

What are the thoughts on Trump Chicago? (www.trumpchicago.com) I could see a building like that in Charlotte. Don't know about 92 stories, but the same general design.

Im not sure if it has anything to do with ground breaking, but there's a crew and bobcat on the sliver of land that the Vue wanted to use for the cement pumps. It connects the Vue site to 6th street. They're digging things up and cleaning out some of the brush along the property line bordering the Fire Museum. Humm?

Anyone know the latest on the VUE? I noticed this morning that there is a new sign at the corner of 5th and Pine. It was put up a few weeks ago, but then taken down after 24 hrs. Now it

Latest news - tonight - Novare is donating $1 million for the new Uptown Park. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/11149547/detail.html I think this is great news, that will benefit Uptown, and further demonstrates Novare's commitment to the community.

Tomorrow's a big day, the old Duke Power building is scheduled to be imploded @ 7:30 am. I'll still be sleeping, but hope someone captures some good photos. Not sure if this is what your looking for but there is info on the Novare site under news. Novare Group Intensifies Focus on Third Ward
