Remember when Marshall park was an "actuall" park

The red LED accent lighting on the Levine deck is spectacular.

Speaking of dreary, here’s the Charlotte famous Levine Deck! 

Can we start a ghost story rumor? Maybe the deck was abandoned because it was built on a Native American cemetery and theres now a poltergeist that haunts the entire site.

Legend has it if you put baking powder on your bumper and put your car in neutral on the 3rd level, you will start rolling uphill. Once you get out and look at the bumper you will see the handprints of all the architects past that worked on the projects that died in Levineland.

This made me imagine seeing apparitions from inside the deck, not of people but of buildings, all the renderings of scrapped projects.

OJ coming out the nose does not feel good.

In terms of the Levine parking  deck of futility I going to start telling people it stalled during the outbreak and they will understand.  I will use this excuse in a few months.

Speaking of failed projects I passed by the Dee Dee Harris Wetland Park aka Quail Hollow Village the other day. Here are the shots. I wanted to be amongst the nature there but alas still not opened.   There seems to be lake spotted over the fence and hill for kite flying or snow sledding in the winter.

Yea I thought about the same thing. I guess you could technically bring all the glass panes up by construction elevator

You are right, but what about all the electrical and heavy HVAC that is usually the last thing loaded? Hey it was the late 80's, I guess they had their way but my curiosity is intrigued. Stupid things like this run through my mind sometimes. Stay safe in NY if that is where you are right now.

I would love to hear his answer. Let me know. Just hunker down and be safe. It is going to get worse before it gets better. I have been watching the situation where you are and it scares me.

We are taking it one day at a time. We have a few months worth of food I think, so hopefully we are good.

Breaking news, a new building is going up in the north side of city. The ncnb building will soon be the tallest building with a whopping 40 stories! This is Peter Stanley, WNYC news

I had heard the top of the building was supposed to be lit but the energy crises nixed it. Anyone know?

 I am pretty sure I remember seeing a photo of a helicopter lifting things to the top of One FU, I'll try to find it.

The chillers are inside the arches on top, and would have already been placed at this point (the hump of the juke box is enclosed already)

Sunset glow in Charlotte tonight.   Charlotte was, is and will continue to be a great city!  From the OxBlue cam.

Spring has sprung! I might not be allowed to leave the house, but at east I've got my drone!

You can launch and land on your balcony?

Yeah, it’s just a little DJI Spark, I launch off my table and just grab it out of the air so I don’t need to try landing

Is that a tent??

There are 2 tents. Erected last night apparently, in the clover leaf of the college street exit off of 277.

Didn’t someone propose a park right there between uptown and Southend? Space is big too btw. But wow, that’s a good hideout with all that shrubbery lol.
