I do not see the round Holiday Inn in the photo which was built in 1969.

So that probably dates the photo to around 1965. The format of the post card and quality of the photo seems about right for that era.
On a side note, just look at all that destroyed urbanism that was plowed over for surface lot parking. That also aligns with that era.

Yes, that stood out to me as well - we complain about surface lots today, great heavens just look at how far we’ve come!
The BB&T building remains one of very favorite in downtown. I am not a super fan of a lot of modern glass skyscrapers, but this one is a true gem in my book.

I couldn’t help but think of those two sky walkers who were arrested for flying their love flag on top of the Empire State Building yesterday when I saw this. LOL>

They are Russian nationals and are charged with felonies. They’ve been released, but let’s see if ICE is going to allow them to stay in the country or if they’ll be deported.
As immigrants, that was an idiotic move in our current political climate.

It will certainly be an interesting test, won’t it?
Rode the train back to the Triangle and got some good sunset pics highlighting some buildings on July 4th. A little blurry on some or some interior light reflection from in the amtrak car, but felt like sharing anyway.
the new city hall shows up in a lot of angles, kinda sneaky how noticeable it actually is even at just 20 floors. It’s a solid addition downtown
i never realized how big of a hill current Red Hat Amphitheater sits on till we were riding over the bridge near it. Somehow it doesn’t feel as steep a grade when walking or driving it.
and a cool shot from behind the new stage as we neared downtown station from the Southeast. From a distance the overall roofline kinda looks like a hat.
