I was once asked to leave because my 2 hour bar stool reservation window had ended. We were the only people there at 7pm... Then handed a check with a 6% fair wage/employee medical surcharge at the bottom. Somewhat amazed it was open this long.

Fully agree - as an owner of one of the new builds.

Isn't the buyer of Duke's Church St building doing this?

Not disagreeing but PLEASE let's start with "legalizing" Happy Hour. Maybe that will save it.

Love what they've been doing to both St. Pete and downtown Tampa over the past few years. The Edition Hotel is amazing. I don't love Florida in general (and have had a home there for over 20 years) but they have a vibe that I wish Charlotte would grow into having just a sliver of.

Rumor has it: Robinhood just pulled out of its lease, cancelled the NC incentives and let go of its local employees.

Had the same experience. Brought guests from out of town and was embarrassed. It felt like a typical low end chain in a nondescript box. Threw most of my food/coffee away.

I was caught up in range as well. Really like the Audi e-tron (s version) but the range on a Tesla is nearly double so put in an order for a Model S (before last price increase). Downside, it "may" be available sometime in late 2022 or sometime 2023. At 375+ miles, is there really a need to charge at an office? It takes 20-25 minutes to charge back to 80% at a super charger. I don't quite understand the overall concern that would push someone into rushing to an office early to get their charge.

Plus there will be a train platform next to this building at some point. Makes sense.

Think I remember seeing something about Dole quietly moving its HQ to Charlotte. Yesterday they merged with Total Produce to form the world's largest fresh produce company with its US base in Charlotte: https://charlotte.axios.com/248296/worlds-largest-fresh-produce-company-grows-charlotte-hq/

Think the Earthfare on Orange is re-opening.

Duke is sending out notices to all employees that all buildings are on lockdown for a potential shooter uptown right now. UPDATE: False alarm.

Im at the Ashton and think its fantastic. $2500 should get you some sort of 2 bedroom. Location can't be beat. Why people (myself included) find it hard to leave...

Here you go. Taken an hour ago from top of the Ashton.
