For what it's worth, bunker suites and an innovative roof such as the one that the dolphins installed in Miami could really give BoA a new lease on life. A final four is not worth a taxpayer funded multi billion dollar decepticon.

It sounds like it has been pushed to next months meeting for the announcement of the new chancellor.

I would love for Tep and the Panthers to stay put. They own the stadium and it's a great OUTDOOR football venue like it was intended to be played. Not like he has a problem selling tickets right now. Fix up memorial for MLS or BoA and keep it rolling. Charlotte has a good thing going with the most wealthy owner in the league. No need to screw the city and the fans and get money and move it to SC. That's a George Shinn and Bruton Smith move.

They would have to be offered some kind of pile of cash to pushed out of there. They have one of the best locations in the city and longterm they could probably make more money selling beer than what the property is worth. Just depends on how committed to longterm they are. Money always talks.

Atlanta uses the shoulder in some areas of 85. It's only open during peak rush hour and does not go far. Hard to know how well it works since Atlanta traffic is a nightmare no matter how you look at it.

NC State continues to push the envelope for modern state funded buildings... That's a good and bad thing. The new buildings look amazing and the old ones look like Soviet monuments. UNC Charlotte has some similar building such as Burson and Colvard which are just kinda weird. Burson is hell hole but won awards when it was constructed.

A Krispy Kreme beside UNC Charlotte would be amazing especially if it had a 24 hour window like the one on stradford in Winston. Kids would be there at all hours of the night.

Agreed, its the perfect location for MLS in Charlotte. Uptown views, area for local businesses, and the extended Gold Line. That being said if Tepper has been to a Atlanta United game I'm sure he wants 75k crazy soccer fans jammed into a renovated BOA because that screams more money. A lot of the time that's what these owners are after.

As far as I know several stations have already been extended. When Cats can find the money they will go ahead and extend the rest of them. Shouldn't be that difficult for them to get it done. They just have bigger fish to fry right now.

One of the few items I would have like to see kept.. Oh well the new building should be fairly nice. Still not the most impressive thing ever for the price being payed. It is one of the worst areas of campus though so I'm glad they're cleaning it up. Also for the record screw PATS the Nazis of UNC Charlotte.

Did they whip that map up on Microsoft paint? I mean this could potentially be a several billion dollar project and this is what some guy came up with ....

That is what I'm referring to. I've seen trains up in Mooresville and just south of that at one of the plants. guessing they just aren't sending anything in between?

Anyone know why the tracks going North past Cornelius are closed and at least in one area destroyed? I thought Norfolk Southern still operated in Mooresville?

Yeah the 704 shop will be fine, they don't have a ton of people in there during the day but they make a ton of online sales. I've been told they frequently sell out online before a product ever hits the floor in the store.

Haven't been over here in a bit... Looks like RDF is about to drop some fire in as always! It will be awesome to have the Levine side of town finally get some more stuff moving.

I think it has a fair amount of character! I'm excited to see how it turns out even if its not the prettiest building in Charlotte it will be different.

Hate that Krispy Kreme is here now.. Winston company to the core.

I've always wondered.. What is the tall concrete tower?

UC has a bright future ahead of it! The University or legit developer needs to come in and purchase the Kohl's shopping center and turn it into a legit college downtown. Perfect location for mid rise apartments with retail, bars, and dining options down below. Also it could be tailgate central in the future with it close proximity to the football stadium.

It's a good looking building! Starting to really love this side of town, definitely becoming another urban core where lots of people will be wondering around.

That's a good looking building! Wish we had a couple more like it scattered around the area.

They would be crazy not to renovate with the amount of money it brings in and the location. The brand new hotel and the NBA Allstar game coming this year would indicate to me that it will probably get some renovation sooner than later. But then again what do I know?

Classic style dorms, such as Moore and Sanford have small rooms for two people, shared bathrooms and community areas. They force college kids out of their rooms and generally lead to good community and close friendships. Whoever has been building dorms at UNCC for the past 20 years hasn't had a grasp on this concept that is common on most college campuses. I think these fancy suites and apartments at UNCC have actually lead to less community and less school involvement even though more kids are on campus at UNCC than at other big state schools such as Appalachian State that have thriving, healthy, and involved student bodies.

Some of the best memories and best communities I was a part of in college were in the high rises. I hate to see them go but I know the university and CHP don't understand the importance of the classic dorm.

Shoot, what floor were you on? I lived in Moore that year as well facing the metal rattle trap that is now SOVI. People used to throw oranges from RDH onto the metalwork to make a crazy sounding banging noise. Crazy that two different dorms I lived in are both being demolished right after I finished my college career!
