There are new residents moving in at NODA18, it is looking good now.

What is going atop the TicToc in the above photo? Innovative use of a small parcel...

Just above the left corner of the monitor... I don't know how to post a picture...

15th and Davidson store is said to be going away... watch for a deed change. The First ward convenience store(Cindy's if you shop there) is owned by the UHOPFOP(United House of Prayer for all People) I am told and they are the ones that don't improve the property. Cindy will stock whatever goods you wish to purchase to save a trip to Reids or the Teeter. Bottom line, with all the property changing hands in Optimist park and the transportation plans, Hope VI work, new construction... uptown is oozing out of the loop. Same aspects on the Presby side, Midtown outlet side, NC Music Factory side. It is all a big shift that continues to pull more people to the center because the critical mass has been achieved to bring support functions and services. Yeah US!

Thay are adding geegaws to the back side today... I am hopeful it will pull the facade above the next door peer(Bell South bldg.) and make it something that Furman's next buyers(Quarter something) will welcome as their focal center point! It really is hard to overcome a big flat wall with only teeny window punches(interior and exterior). When you spend the money to get such height, the view, light, orientation advantages should demand glass to get that extra value. Corners sell for more, views sell for more, back side remains back side unless it can draw from the other potential values that this height gives this building... Um, what face to attach????? :
