Isn’t Charlotte like 94% US/American? My friends there often look to fly out of someplace else because the rates are so much higher. We also find this true with Atlanta - its often cheaper to fly out of B’ham and thru Atlanta rather directly out of ATL. (We are 80 miles to the 'ham and 100 to ATL)
He said Usair but he meant American.

Some days I just refer to them as Piedmont - somethings are hard to give up.

At least you do not mistake them for Thundermont (have to be and long time Raleigh resident to understand that :grinning. Guess this is showing off thing from another um City? - Lizard LIck:)

Thundermont - so smooth you’ll think you aren’t off the ground, cause you are not! That was actually on my mind when I typed the last response. Thanks for posting it @scotchman !!
I think that we should also share things that we see in other cities that we should avoid doing! I’ll keep my eyes open.

I am very glad that bar stayed stayed stubborn- I hate seeing cool old spots that give a city some character be pushed out and destroyed for some mediocre, huge, single use building. However… that final result is just so weird and ugly looking. Who in their right mind would want to live in one of those inward facing apartments?? Hahahaha
The whole thing was cracking me up.
Some other things I like: modern houses next to old houses, colored lights on tall buildings, late night food trucks on city streets, and cool murals.

BB&T Winston-Salem Dash stadium is a great example of a downtown minor league stadium. It also has a great view of the skyline.

Been offline for a couple of days but I originally moved here for work (Cary actually) Raleigh is great because it has a small town feel but big city things. Plus it was pretty cheap. There aren’t many cities where I could afford to live within walking distance of everything in downtown. Advantages are I can be at the beach or the mountains in two hours and it’s still drivable back to central PA when I need to go home for family things.

In other words " A great place to live". Major needs met, along with some wants.

Screened parking deck with a building on top, actually looking pretty decent… (From my trip to Charlotte this weekend)

Building looks nice. Sidewalk does not.

Photo 1: View from a 43rd floor condo in Midtown Miami, looking toward downtown. I learned that I don’t ever want to live up that high with a small glass enclosed balcony!!!
Photo 2: View from rooftop pool deck (47th floor) looking toward the east and the top section of its two neighbor buildings that are taller.
This is the Paraiso Bay District project with 1600 condos in 4 buildings.

Great pics, love the view, and completely agree about the balcony! Lol
I have a love of tall buildings but also a fear of heights. Ironic, eh?

Spent the weekend in Chicago which is probably my favorite major US city I’ve visited so far (sorry NYC, DC, Atlanta).
BRT and separated bike lanes
Residential above a parking garage
Tallest building in the world designed by a female architect
I ended up using the train and bus system quiet often and they were extremely reliable and easy to use.

I think that Zaha Hadid has passed this benchmark with her 1000 Museum Park tower in Miami. There may be others as well. One Thousand Museum - Wikipedia
That said, I have always loved Marina City!!! …and yes, it’s built over a parking podium, but it’s at least not offensive.
