1/2 is going to Midwood Park where it will be installed and 1/2 is going to a "museum"...not sure what that last part means (private or public).

Largely negative social media reaction, which at first was surprising, but then I remembered the outrage over losing the giant suburban parking lot across the street (that you can’t even park in), and then I was less surprised.

Take a look at the Axios Charlotte Facebook post, it's a predictable dumpster fire.

I am frequently reminded that my decision to finally leave Facebook has only improved my day to day life.

I mean, there were a few people on their Instagram post that said things like "What happened to the DQ?" so I wouldn't trust all their readers to be too up-to-date on things.

Can't think of a more exciting tenant for this iconic space tbh... I'm stoked!

The Beaver (NC) never fails to amaze!

(I heard he rode the Gold Line to get there)

I recall when the Beaver was photographed surrounded by that multi story building it was shared worldwide and mentioned especially in England, as it had a "Pub survives the millenium development" look. Further discussion online says that he was unnoticed and the patrons on the right of the photo had floor tickets and knew nothing of him until today.

Love to see this. Pure good, nothing bad about it at all.

I bet I wouldn't have recognized him either, just dressed like a normal dude and in a baseball cap, unless I heard him talk.

This may be the coolest non-development Charlotte photo ever lol

Honestly I thought that was @tarhoosier standing there at the Beaver.

Any reason the front doors are open on all of these buildings?

[KJHburg]

^^^ Theft and or break in would be my guess.

Sounds like a lovely town and neighborhood you all have got there.  Truly, Charlotte’s got a lot.

Just ironic that while this P-M parking lot has become such a wasteland complete with missing front doors and signs of theft, there's still so much resistance (at least on social media) to the massive investment Crosland Southeast is making in its transformation.  The missing doors are just a small sign of the alternate and continuing reality that would exist if this were allowed to be just another suburban strip mall past its prime.  Thank God it isn't, and instead, is in the orbit of some developer's great ambitions.

You understand that this isn't weird or rare at all once demolition fencing goes up, right?  Its just people going into the buildings to look for scrap copper or anything else they can salvage before the building gets torn down.  The demolition contractor likely didn't even bother locking the doors.

Was thinking fencing goes up before demolition to keep wanderers off and to secure the property...
