On a bright Sunday morning, another soon to be hot and humid day (but not early when I went) rode the motorcycle to Charlotte, NC...and when I got off took a walk around that very interesting town. There was a lot going on there even early; with a number of people walking around, and even a crane on a closed off street doing some sort of work soon (they were putting up some tape to keep people away from it as I walked by). It was good to see that there is construction still going on in Charlotte, even in times such as these. The building here in the background is under construction. Charlotte is a city that is often undergoing change and was before the current economic crisis one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. According to the experts, when things get better (and I feel that they will...eventually) the city will once again hit that mark. I certainly enjoy wandering around it, and checking out all the sights. Unlike Richmond, which is also very cool to explore, it is filled with new sights and offers many things to see and do.
Here is seen the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, with one of the newer buildings in the background. I love all the different buildings in the city, and many of them (though not the one seen here) are apartment buildings. Many people both work and live in the city and it gives it a very interesting feel. There are some great neighborhoods in Charlotte, and a wide range of places to live in the city.
The Statue at left is one of four to be found at Founders Square which is right in front of the Bank of America Building (Still the largest building in Charlotte. The train seen in the photo was photographed downtown (or Uptown as it is known locally) and runs North to many cities, including a stop in Richmond, Va. Though I have not taken the train to Richmond, it is not out of the range of possibility that I will not do so in the future. Sure like to see high speed trains running between Charlotte and points beyond. Charlotte also has a growing light rail system; reaches quite a few points in the city and is quite popular. That system is planning expansion to other points outside of the City of Charlotte. I have posted these and a few others on my Photo Page, which you can find via a Link on this page. I hope you have enjoyed these photos, and thanks for visiting my page!
