Charlotte Photo of the Day

If this was all of our uptown skyline it would still be pretty impressive but of course it is not.  Side view.

Queens Road is the most beautiful street in NC IMO.  I took this last week when driving to see my old house on Maryland Ave.

I’d say in the country, but I’m biased.

May I assist you with a crane?   We have mainly blue in stock.     Southend the Heede Southeast crane showroom!  May I measure your height?

Chapel Hill is looking like a baby Charlotte.

Every time that I’ve been to Charlotte recently, the fountain in Polk Park has been dry.  Has the city turned it off due to homeless people bathing in it?  Houston and Denver have turned off fountains for that reason.

I’ve always loved this little plaza.

The park is being redesigned to accommodate more flexible space for vendors/booths/activation

Did they get funding for design work? I remember they had a public survey years ago about ways to use that space. I didn't think anything was happening yet, even at a design level.

Deleted my post in miscellaneous but I wrote that I walked by the park today and there was a crew finally doing a deep clean…blowing leaves debris and pressure washing. Not sure if this is in preparation for the redesign or just putting water back in it. Either way, it needed this cleaning bc it was looking pretty rough recently. Really happy to hear about the redesign and making it have flexible space. As nice as Polk park is/was when maintained, it just hasn’t really been that inviting lately. To be in such a prominent location at the square, there’s def opportunities to engage ppl better. Something unique could be a permanent cargo container village with food vendors and stuff like a smaller scale of what they did in the lot across from ducksworth. Another idea I had was something like B tower overlooking the square would be awesome. But flexible space to allow food trucks and vendors would be easier and would be a quick win. With the edition of independence tower retail frontage too, should really help out the area as well.

I like the view coming in on independence the best

Since I now come in from 77 traveling Southbound, I like to exit at Trade Street and see the trolleys going by, drive by the federal courthouse, and gradually approach BoA.

Genuine question. Don’t people want this to be a river or something?
