Wonder who/what will move in now? http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/crime/article32591019.html

http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article31210550.html Hopefully 935 closes and a business moves in that is an ASSET to our neighborhood.

They corrected the article to include nCino from Wilmington. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150604005676/en/nCino-Named-2015-Red-Herring-Top-100#.VXBNw89VhBc

Anyone notice the order page for the Guinness International Champions Cup: http://ustix.2015.internationalchampionscup.com/

While I'm sure there's a logical answer...just wondering why this building is set back so far from Tryon? Will something be built between the high-rise and Tryon?

Of the 3 shows currently filmed in Wilmington, "Under the Dome" said they will be back and "Sleepy Hollow" and "Secrets and Lies" are still TBD. Wilmington has the advantage of Screen Gems Studios being located there...largest sound stage outside the west coast.

So which HTs in town carry OMB? I looked at the store Uptown and didn't see any (even though the OMB site says it is carried there).

Figured this would be appreciated here (50% off at The Beer Growler): http://charlotte.dealsaver.com/engine/SplashDetails.aspx?LID=846&contestid=32761&productid=12735804&p=12

Strange...didn't realize they cut that little corner from MPHS but include them in Dilworth and AGMS. Go figure...it's CMS. (BTW...how absurd it is that kids as far south as Rae and 51 go to MPHS?)

CMS planning will only go for that if the current schools(s) are over-crowded and the target school(s) are under. Even then it is a challenge because they look at future growth trends and make a judgement call. The school board members won't act unless planning is in agreement.

Why's that? Everything between Morehead and West Blvd all the way to 77 is assigned to Dilworth Elementary / A. Graham Middle / MPHS. That's is, until they get too crowded (Dilworth ES is already on that trajectory) and CMS draws a new arbitrary line. It's the neighborhoods just north and west of Uptown (like 3rd Ward, 4th Ward, Wesley Heights, etc) that get the raw deal and sent their kids to schools further away. Geographically Dilworth (and several others) is closer than Ashley Park...but CMS planning nor the school board (CMS's rubber stamp) seem to care.

Downside to the USAir / AA merger: Wilmington, Fayetteville, Jacksonville and Myrtle Beach are among the 17 cities losing nonstop service to D.C. due to Obama/Holder/DoJ merger shakedown. http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20140115/ARTICLES/140119789/0/FRONTPAGE#gsc.tab=0

Architects for the new development are Housing Studio based out of Charlotte. Contractors have not been selected.

Wow. How deep back on S. Summit does this go? And what happens with the flood plain? What are the timelines for this project?

Not as of now...but given the parcels are in the West Morehead PED, it is hoped the neighborhood can push them in that direction. This is a project our neighbors want to support, but, also want to make sure the developers think of the big picture and create something that integrates into Wesley Heights.

Found these plans/renderings online: http://investcollegiate.maxwebgear.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2013/10/ICPlans.pdf

Invest Collegiate received its final approval from the N.C. State Board of Education in March and will open in late July with about 275 students, from kindergarten through sixth grade, in three modular buildings at the intersection of Suttle Avenue and Isom Street. http://m.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog/real_estate/2013/05/new-school-plans-to-develop-campus-on.html?page=all&r=full

According to the Misery Map, a live map that combines real-time weather and flight data, the most miserable airport in the country is currently Charlotte, followed closely by all New York area airports. Feel free to share your Thanksgiving travel misery with all of us. http://gawker.com/according-to-the-misery-map-a-live-map-that-combines-r-1472956837 On the bright side, they just said Charlotte (no NC).

Charlotte (, NC) was used to demonstrate the generic HealthCare.gov pricing mistakes on the CBS Evening News last night: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505269_162-57608843/healthcare.gov-pricing-feature-can-be-off-the-mark/

No mention of HBO's Eastbound and Down being filmed (partly) in Charlotte as well as set in Charlotte? The bulk of the show is filmed in Wilmington, but Kenny (Effing) Powers lives in Charlotte this season. Lot of good Uptown shots in the first episode.

Must be feeling the time crunch...they've been working (landscaping mostly) in the rain all day.

Trailer for 'Jackass Presents: Bad Grampa' is out (and filmed in Charlotte).

According to folks in Camp Greene, work on the Ryan Homes and the apartments on Millerton are scheduled to begin this fall.

Speaking of missing parks in 1st Ward...what ever happened the the replacement park that was to be built north of Myers between 6th & 7th? CHA owns the land but it is still a vacant mess.
