Hey KJHb, I ask this questionoften....Do you know anyone at Duke who can give you any info on utility undergrounding, at least for Southend? Every time I see your construction updates I am totally distracted by this disgusting mish-mash of utility cables going every which way!

I sold bottle drinks out of a bucket full of ice, walking the grandstand at Clark Griffith Park. Made a nickle a bottle!

Say, has anyone else noticed the 45 degree stuff is starting to appear up top?

Kinda' looks like it belongs at Trade and McDowell. That is and always was and always will be one ugly structure with or without the el.

Hey KJHburg, Your photos are amazing: you show the lastest beam, form, crane and lots of other fine details about your subjects. It's great! Please get out to the airport and get some detail about the elevated roadway progress. Rumors of new design changes also the fact that the airport website and FB show 3 variations of design i.e. canopy/no canopy. Hell, they aren't even on the same page. They installed those large street light towers and they don't show up in the canopy design. The CO hasn't reported anything about "over budget" or design changes. The last thing I heard was that the city council had let another contract for 5 crane bases within the project area. We have been treated to a lot of print/photos about the A addition but very little about the elevated roadway /terminal lobby project. C'mon man! Get some details for us. Your avid appreciator StillLoveClt.

Why hasn't CLT verified which design they are going with: the glass canopy or the covered bridges. The website/facebook have both designs as all of these videos do too. If there is a design change in the works why aren't they owning up to it?

Does anyone know anybody at the airport that can verify any design changes/budget cutbacks? One part of the CLT website shows the new canopy design and another section shows the original covered catwalks design. Is the airport going to make a statement? Oh Ely, what's the status?

Better yet, Finish new A and raze old A and rebuild from scratch. They already have the apron around old A. That way, everything on the west side of the airport (the visible part from the roadway) looks brand spankin' new!

They were supposed to be installing 5 crane bases. Did you see any evidence of those?

There was a rendering back in the late 60s in the CO (I'm aging myself) where a 15 story "fat" addition was going to replace the Caldwell part of the building. Alas...........

The Brownlee clock had roman numerals and a tubular post.

It seems to suggest that the architect of the Carillon saw his conception from this vantage point.

I am truly surprised, after all of this construction time that the CLT website has not updated their maps. C'mon man!

OK KJHBurg, now that A.A.1 is finished it's time for you to get a photo study of the progress on the curbside construction. I avidly await for your results.

It looks like I see some one up there with a plastic bucket and a shovel!

Dan Levine made it clear a while back that after his father passed, Dan no longer had the incentive and drive to follow through with his original plans. I tend to agree with ricky.

They ought ta call it New Camden "Ground-view"

Hey KJHburg, can you update this perspective? It was taken by one you dynamic UPers. It posted 12/20/2017.

Could someone show how to import a twitter pic into UP?

A personal appeal to KJHBurg, There is a view of the elevated roadway construction on the #DestinationCLT from Dec 20, 2017. The perspective is from the west looking towards the east. Whenever you are doing your airport progress shooting could you post a "then and now" follow-up? I am anxious to see how those five crane bases will fit in to the construction. Just askin'.

Great photo of CLT history. 1965 would be more accurate: mainly prop planes, old parking configuration, west pier rebuilt (enclosed) for Eastern (never any sky bridges) in 1967 followed by west pier rebuild (also enclosed, no sky bridges) all before1973. I love the photo.

Here's a good Street Car route: Gateway Station, South on Mint to BOA Stadium, East on Stonewall to Metropolitan, South on Kenillworth , East on East Blvd , North on Kings Drive and reconnect with that same line at Metropolitan. Think of it : Gateway, Stadium, HOF and residences, Metropolitan, Freedom Park and CMC all on one line.
