  1. OK, WCNC (formerly billed itself as NBC6) just said this on their 6PM news.

    "...the Trump organization is no longer going to build a highrise in uptown.". :o (straight from Sonya Gantt's mouth)

    Maybe they got it wrong, and I wouldn't be surprised they didn't do a more thorough job in investigating, but this sounds like the project has indeed been canceled.

    I dont buy it... and yeah I have had a few conversations about trump today... sure would make me look like an ass if i was telling everyone he still is thinking about building and he is totally canceled

  2. dub i just want to throw out there that we are at really no risk of running out of oil, and that because demand will most likely have shifted because of how global warming is being portrayed right now in the media, (which the shift is not a bad thing at all just the way the media has done it is well disapointing) but overall, just know that we will have oil for a long time... it just may be more expensive then we like. The US itself has tons of oil in its shale form which for a price can be converted into crude oil

  3. I sent an email to my favorite resturant Chipotle asking them to strongly consider opening a location in the future developement, it has everything they could need, near a college, near a hospital, good public transit, movie theater near by (aka a reason to go there other then work/living there), a hotel, and residential condos

    Hopefully theyll go for it, when they move into a city they really move in fast, we have one right now, and two under construction (one on south blvd and one in Providence Plaza) I cannot wait... matthews is such a far drive

  4. impressive yes, but retail wise dp is better. 100,000 sq ft is a big difference Looking at the map, I can only hope we can get 1/2 of the high quality shops that they have in DP. A Niketown and B&N Ohh Lord that would be amazing. If the epi center is like DP uptown retail will change and people will want to go uptown for things other then Speed Week

  5. hmm I have been to the metreon many times, very nice but the epicenter wont be the same... though it would be cool to have an electronics store like the sony style store in there, eb games maybe? anyways I think the movie theater is a pretty important piece to the puzzle so I hope it stays in there

  6. Or at least their facades incorporated into the backside of 300 St. Tryon or Catalyst....but no...that would have been too much effort..... <_<

    I agree, the buildings with any character and neighborhood kinda feel get flattened for huge condos, I love the new developement, but keep some of the old stuff and blend it, it makes me sad to hear we will be losing them
