Skyline obscured by Canadian smoke this morning.  Also, some wildlife.  The black snake is a frequent visitor to my property.  The copperhead was spotted on my morning dog walk.

 

 

 

That's a nope rope.

Exactly. I've always told my wife that if a snake ever gets in our house my solution is gasoline and a match.

The Uptown Skyline comes alive every morning at precisely 5AM.

There is some window glare in these, but I snapped a few while waiting for the elevator in Uptown 550. The southern facing side is going to have a drastically different view in five to ten years.

Touring with mom uptown down Tryon Street.  I had to point out many things as so much has changed.  Passed the Carolina Theater and told them it was behind that glass box.  (that of course triggered the whole conversation about walking out on Elvis in 1956 and how it was my aunt Dot's fault)

A visual BLAST  FROM THE PAST!!!

The opening of Panther stadium was accompanied by naming rights for Ericsson. Many people at that time knew nothing about Ericsson. 28 years later and many people know nothing about Ericsson. Naming rights may maintain awareness but in this case did not establish awareness, imo. Exception for Crypto.com and FTX arenas which establish awareness for all the wrong reasons.

(The photo appears to be of Bank of America, thus 20 years or less of age.)

edit:  I may have had an Ericsson phone, circa 1998

The photo was taken in late summer or early fall of 2005.

What better way to watch Charlotte FC than with  NoDA beer (at least if you can’t be there in person).

Look at this view of the Charlotte uptown and Southend skyline from Ballantyne and their OxBlue camera.   You can see the Southend towers marching southward from uptown.

Nice @KJ, great find! Queensbridge will do so much to bridge Uptown to SouthEnd and give the QC an exceptionally wide (horizontal) skyline, especially from angles such as this one! 
 

The CLT Skyline will cover in width approx 3.5 miles, an estimated 35 ish city blocks in length, from the first tower in SouthEnd to the last ones on N. Tryon. This is crudely figured on my part. Correct if inaccurate.

This brings tears of joy to my eyes! I recall not too long ago, people used to say Charlotte had an exceedingly thin, scrunched up lil skyline with no width or depth.  Look at it now!

You might want to update your location then.  Welcome back!

Welcome back!  Is that across from Blue Blaze?  I was just there yesterday looking at that development across the street!

It is! This is Cykel Apartments with Grubb Properties:  very neat project, I think there will definitely be some uber eats delivery's taking place here though, without a nearby grocery store it may be tough to get some frozen foods/treats back by bike/foot.
