Republican National Convention in Charlotte
Hcubed replied to HopHead's topic in Charlotte Coffee House
Truly good news, good riddance RNC. The taint from being associated with tRump and the republican party would stick for years. It's taken decades for Charlotte and NC to lose so much of the national perception of a backwards, conservative place. Thankfully, Charlotte is neither. Charlotte has come a long way, she really dodged a big bullet with tRump withdrawing it from here. Thank you, Governor Cooper! -
All of these pics you all are posting are amazing. I like that there are angles that I've never seen, almost like another city. I love all the pics with no people that focus on the buildings and street-scape, but I love seeing the human activity and diversity of the citizens.

I think I am more excited about this project than I should be. I think it will look great and I can't wait to see the texture and color it adds.

That's disappointing. The other design was amazing. Now, another generic retro-70's glass box...

Charlottetown Mall was a shopping mall located in Charlotte, North Carolina, right outside what is now Charlotte center city. The first enclosed shopping mall in the Southeast, it opened in on October 28, 1959. Atlanta's Lenox Square opened two months earlier, but it was an open-air mall at first. The mall was situated on a 10-acre (40,000 m2) parcel on the southeastern fringes of Charlotte's "center city" area. Rouse Company was the mall's developers.

My mother taught at Myers Park High School in the 50s and 60s. My grandfather had a diner on East Trade in the 30s and 40s.

I love the new Charlotte, I'm obsessed with discovering more of the old Charlotte. Savoy Theatre on 508 S. McDowell St. NOTE: This photo was most likely taken at some point in 1963 because I see a movie poster for "How To Kill A Mockingbird", it was released in 12/1962

I'm new on here though I've been observing from afar for years. I remember some of these old structures from when I was growing up in the 70s. They are gone. I always wondered back then why Charlotte was all parking lots, where was the old part of the city. I've collected a lot of photos over the years of old Charlotte. It amazes me what is lost. There was another city here before the current one. All gone. The few remaining structures tell little of the story. Urban renewal.
