Concord rising! Newly completed Novi Flats, and the currently under construction Novi Rise in the foreground. Bonus shot of the new courthouse peaking out the back, too.

Two projects under construction in Downtown Concord.

From Thursday.

Yes. Fixed.

Tonight after the Panthers beat the Jets, I decided to explore the Uptown scene with some friends. I ran into some sour Jets fans from NYC. They were very kind, however, and bought my friend and I beers. They shared that they were retired NYPD officers who were at Ground Zero during the 9/11 attacks. Anyhow, they were in awe of how much of a “neat town” Charlotte is and how it is “vastly underrated.” They we’re also very impressed with BOA Stadium. They said they’ll be back and tel their NYC clientele about how much they enjoyed the city. Very cool!

My boyfriend and I decided on a “staycation” in the city for our anniversary, at the Hyatt Place. Great north-side views from our room. The Ellis really stands out from this angle.

From the I-77 Express Lanes onto the Brookshire Frwy. Beautiful Sunday.

First time at Fahrenheit tonight. It really makes the city seem really big.

Good evening, UP. I’m a long time lurker, but first time poster. I figured this would be a good time to start. Long story, short, my partner had some good friends in town from frigid Southern Wisconsin this weekend. This was their first trip to NC, and they wanted to see the city. They were both floored (after the sun came out) at the beauty of Charlotte. Being a native, it’s always fun to show off the city on a great day! Hope you all enjoy the pictures and I’m excited to be a poster on here!
