Looking at one listed on Redfin, the units in the old building are gorgeous. Love the arched, vaulted ceilings and stain glass that they kept. Great and tasteful reuse all around.

With absolutely no evidence to make this assumption, I feel like WFH has opened the door for the more traditional "suburban" office users (i.e. logistics) to enter the uptown office market. Spot just seems like someone that would have ended up over in Coliseum 5 years ago, not uptown . I would assume nice leases are driving it or I could be completely wrong, who knows.

Even the new tacomas are huge. I drive a second gen long bed access cab and I am always caught off guard when I park next to a third gen and realize how much bigger it is. There really isnt a good light duty truck available anymore which is a shame and is going to make me hold on to this truck as long as I possibly can.

Yes, to an extent. As Kermit stated, there is a lot more leeway in regards to ADUs, rear additions, etc. I don't believe I have seen anyone turned down specifically for an ADU but I have seen changes requested based on materials, height, layout etc.

Yeah itll be a boon to the parasitic airbnb'ers and upscale developers while generational locals get the shaft and are pushed further out towards Waynesville. I am all for growth and change but I wouldn't call the loss of $140M in annual payroll for blue collar jobs a win for Haywood county or WNC.

Maybe I missed something that is published but I assumed widening wouldn't start until Remount since 77 through Wilkinson/Freedom/277 onramp is all 4 lanes.

Such great bones as a venue but it needs to be cleaned up and for the love of god have the sound fixed.

Yeah, counting the open space at both the rescue mission and Aramature is a bit disingenuous.

I think they are starting to claw out from the backlog. After tempering my expectations and expecting our review to be 4-5 months, my recent submission was completed in less than a month from submitting for staff review to being pushed to the agenda to being reviewed and receiving a COA. That said, yes I heard many friends with submissions during '20 and '21 that took months with a ton of back and forth.

Looks like an upfit led by ARGOs. Permit shows "Re-use of an existing building including utility services and facade improvements."

Isn't Google Fiber dead?

There was an AA thread on flyertalk the other day that was complaining about this. (which is not surprising for FT). I feel the same way as you, would prefer to remain anonymous and it typically feels forced anyways.

Lower Left is a great spot and a hidden gem. Great beer and atmosphere.

You can. By the basketball courts right before Trade where the greenway would cross a bridge over the creek they added a split that extends out to trade street and is less than half a block from a station.

I am with you on avoiding 70 and any resort associated with Vail or Intrawest, much prefer the cottonwood resorts to anything in CO but I think you are underestimating the amount of folks that ski/ride 2 weekends a year at Snowshoe/Beech/Sugar that flock to the Summit Country resorts for whatever reason. Certainly not my preferred destination but there is definitely a draw through Charlotte. Back on topic, I flew through A North for the first time last week and was impressed with it. Great space, feels very open and flowy. Only complaint was with the morning sun it was pretty hot. Not end of E with a boatload of people hot, but close.

I mean that's a bit misleading with once daily to SLC and whatever daily to Denver. Realistically, the demographic flowing through CLT is not headed to JAC, ASE, MTJ, etc. but going to the traditional I70 resorts (mostly) or something outside of Salt Lake (probably less so than Colorado). Would be interesting to see data on that. Completely agree with you that direct service to any of the more upscale, western ski destinations is probably a tough sell from Charlotte due to the cost associated with said resorts.

Old charlotte immanuel church reuse on Grandin is chugging along. Noticed a new banner on the fence this morning.

Had a meeting at 150 Riverside last week and its an absolutely gorgeous building inside and out. Excited to see this get underway here.

I guess time will tell re: FF at Charlotte In terms of the A321T product I definitely think they will be phased out for the XLR in due time. Just becomes an exercise in moving around metal to meet demand as more join the fleet.

Apologies for the double post but the full 3 class service is explicitly for the entertainment industry and AA has been looking at reducing the first class capacity on the A321T from 8 to 6. They also have very limited flexibility within the route and to scale it due to their 3 class domestic fleet size. CLT > SNA may do well but there is absolutely not way we would get it the current JFK-SNA configuration.

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet but I have heard from a pretty reliable source that we will be getting a Flagship First Lounge in the near future. I have no other details other than that unfortunately.

Pretty sure Contour survives on EAS subsidies and jumped on routes that regionals (I believe mostly the wholly own subsidiaries) pulled back from. They did sign an interline agreement with AA pre-covid but I am not sure what happened to it over the previous 2 years.

I think the distinction to be made here is business vs. leisure. If I am Boston/Chicago/NYC with my wife for a weekend, we are probably taking the train from the airport to wherever we are going. If I am there for work, I am 100% getting an Uber. Granted, the traffic is those cities absolutely sucks but with the reduction in availability and the increase in cost of Ubers, I think you will see a heavy contingent of leisure travelers who get off a flight and see "Train to Uptown" signs take the proposed silver line. Is it enough to warrant the line only going to the airport? Absolutely not but I think the connectivity with the airport is still important. *Disclaimer* I live on the west side so I too am in the "why would I ever do anything but drive/Uber to the airport" but I think everyone is underestimating the use the line to the airport would get.

Never realized Eurosport (now Soccer.com) was based in Hillsborough. That said, agree with the Triangle being the epicenter for youth soccer. TFC, CASL, Triangle United, etc were always challenging opponents and were always a majority of the NC ODP program it seemed.

I feel like that is an industry problem. I regularly check packaged dates before I grab anything and its never surprising to see anything 6+ months old in the teeter coolers. Even high turnover beers like Sierra Nevada I have seen 9-10 months old.
