I just got back from The Cumberland about 5 minutes ago to see the model for myself, and its truly amazing. And wile I was in the room admiring the video of the tower and the model, Tony G himself came from behind me a introduces himself to me. I felt like I was meeting a celebrity!!! I told him his vision for our city is remarkable, and his tower is amazing.
I told him that I'm one of the people from Urban Planet , and I kept track of all of your work. He seem very proud of that. And I said that most of the people from the Charlotte site don't believe the tower will be as tall or even built altogether. He said, "he will have to get on the Urban Planet web site to see what people are saying."
That was the first time I meet him. Very nice guy and very passionate about our city and its future.
He might still be in the lobby of The Cumberland if anybody wanted to meet him or ask him an questions.
