[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Yep, I knew it, and yep, I agree!

[SouthPark Mall]

Yeah, the deck is pretty much complete, or should be soon complete. They are really going to town on that project.

[The Vue]

They should open up a Maggiano's uptown!

A dude at my church is the general manager of the one at SP, a good friend of mine is a busboy there, call for any free hookups yo

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Were there many employees standing around at the rallies and stuff?

[Brooklyn Village Redevelopment in 2nd Ward]

Yuck, domed stadiums make me sick.

[Brooklyn Village Redevelopment in 2nd Ward]

^oh well, my bad joke blew up in my face...i thought it was going to be sooo sweet...

i coulda been a contender.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can't even tell what it was. You all had our hopes up.

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Yep, the only reason we will lose this is because of politics.

[Brooklyn Village Redevelopment in 2nd Ward]

I think 12 to 2 PM is the best time. There are several rally points, I believe the major one will be at Trade & Tryon of course.

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Yes, wear yellow!!! I am going to try to get off work that day to show my support!

[The Vue]

So, how long, from the time it breaks ground to the time it tops out, will construction last?

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Yep, Daytona loses.

I'm only worried about ATL and KC, we should be getting this thing. Most people, regardless of where they live, would probably agree.

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

oooo, I want to go!!! When is it?

[The Vue]

I dk, this facade seems smaller to me. I would think it would run a little cheaper, maybe $80k.

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

When do they make a decision on this?

[The Vue]

Yep, this looks like an AWESOME tower, I can't wait!

[U.S. National Whitewater Center]

I couldn't agree more! This will be awesome and hopefully increase our tourist numbers. And this is also another thing residents can do for fun around the area without having to travel 3 hours to some of the mountain rivers, though those are great fun too.

[Why doesnt WBTV just come out and say it?]

Speaking of Mark Mathis--see this hilarious and somewhat scary video clip

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haha, that is quite hilarious, I'm actually kinda sad we lost this guy.

[Northlake Mall]

Welcome to Charlotte and UP ilektronik!! Glad you enjoy our city.

I definitely DO NOT consider NorthLake part of the University area. University area is northeast, NL is northwest.

I think that some people are already calling that area NorthLake. That name will grow and in time it will be a well known part of Charlotte.

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

Yes, I do believe the economic impact is greater, however, I would take this building instead. It will help add greatly to uptown tourism and, well, just look real nice. The all-star race will cycle through here every few years anyway, after all, we ARE the center of racing. I'd say the race would go on a loop from, maybe, Charlotte to Atlanta to KC to Texas to Cali and then back to Charlotte.

[Brooklyn Village Redevelopment in 2nd Ward]

Anything new on this project atlrvr?

[NASCAR Hall of Fame]

I don't know if anyone heard, Bank of America announced today that it is sponsoring a Charlotte race next year and a few other NASCAR races around the country. Does anyone think this will help our chances for getting the HOF?

[SouthPark Mall]

Yeah, I heard the walls were constructed 3 times as thick because it was going to be used as a fallout shelter during the cold war.

[Good New Restaurants]

Dang, that is a lot of high-end steak places. I don't even like steak all that much.

[Metropolitan, Midtown Redevelopment]

Looks cool!

[Bridges at Mint Hill]

Snap, right on the money.

I am so brilliant.
