Ok im not trying to ruin your fun but I think Raleigh is missing because North Carolina is covering it, the algorithim probably has some minimum distance between lables so it isnt too cluttered looking, same thing for the other missing cities @QCxpat mentioned

A 2 story Starbucks and a 2 story McDonald's? Wow, Southpark really is the definition of elegance and luxury

I just drove back from the triad recently. They have finally opened up part of the 4 lane highway near to where that large ACN building overlooks the highway and south. The rest of the southern part of the expansion it looks brand new and ready to be opened any day now(probaby painting and removinf the temporary lane paint if i had to guess) In regards to the northern part of the expansion, it looks like the southern part did a year or year and a half ago did, its still a concrete base with exposed barrier holders and half finsihed bridges, probaby a year or 2 off until the whole thing opens to 4 lanes. But when it does it'll be a whole new world, i can go 85mph all the way to Greensboro and not sit behind a 50mph minivan in the 2 lane section anymore, I cant wait!

Honesty this is how I imagine Charlotte brands itself in presentations to companies like Amazon or others looking to move here CLT: We have a train AMZ: What? CLT: We have a train AMZ: Ok a lot of cities have trains, what else you got, education? taxes? culture? CLT: I dont think you get it, we have a train *winks* AMZ: Ok.... ummmm..... we'll get back to you *crosses Charlotte off list*

That was the consensus in the car i was in

I think the city could get it cheaper than the $680k per acre @cltbwimob estimated. Could probably get it declared a Superfund site and eminent domain the entire place for around 150-200k an acre since a reasonable price for a federally declared hazard would be much lower than not. and give NS somewhere near the airport to put a new one it, plenty of space out there. Get it cleaned up and redevloped with highest bidders for a plan similar to the UNCC one @Desert Power shared above. The city would make money and we would get a new core

So today while riding past the entrance to the CRI campus of UNCC at about 9:15pm I see cops all around the tracks where it starts to go down towards the tunnel. Looking around confused I see a car looks like it was tring to make a left turn onto Tryon from the shopping center and turned onto the tracks instead and got stuck in the gravel. Driving down a ways 3 trains were stopped a few hundred yards from each other. Was cleared up by 11 when i came back through though. Car was about where they grey car is but on the tracks in this Google Maps pic. I tried to get my own but with traffic/rain/night they ended up bad.

The new rec center under construction

How does Footlocker draw in a trashy crowd? Most of their shoes are > $120 and I'm sure that bankers and other uptown types all wear shoes other than dress shoes at some point so why not give them a convenient store for that?

As long as it keeps Moe's I'll keep going

I think they chenged the station announcements at UNCC at least. It mentions "having your ticket ready for fare inspectors" or something along those lines, which i dont remember being announced in the past

1 line? Blue + gold = 1?

Got this nice photo on this beautiful day

The good ol UNC Charlotte method. Put brick on everything and hope that it looks good

Thisbis a plot by CATS to show us how them being slowed down or stopped affects our everyday lives. They will continue to be slow and "break down" until we pay for their 3 new lines. This is secret blackmail

Where is your > $60000 donation then if you can criticize them for "only" 60k

I mean if one flies in front of my car, im not trying to pay for another person's stupidity, and since the law doesnt mention scooters that means cars have the right of way

Service out between New Bern and 36th Street Stations, there is a bus bridge connecting the 2 and in between, my friend had to wait over 40 minutes for the bus from CTC to 36th this morning, apparently long lines

Motion to banish @CLT2014 from NC

Good points in general. But not all of VA, the north west counties of VA were totally against succession and formed the state of WV which was formedand admitted to the union before VA proper was readmitted

Imagine they did #1 and put colored lights on it, it would be all over Instagram

KJ says something is coming in here from the burbs? Wr already know he is the CEO of Krispy Kreme, new KK HQ confirmed, forget the tower in Cherry, the donuts are going uptown

It's a missile silo, no one would order a building this bad except for the US government, the pyramid will be on a hinge and will open up when it is time to launch. They are doing it in plain sight to avoid suspicion for the upcoming alien invasion when this building will save Charlotte with its secret payload

Was the dog ok?

One question I have about this thread is what is temporary culture? Culture is something that is made over a long period and isnt some temporary thing. So how do you create temporary culture?
