To our urban planners: cut down some trees? Or think about showcasing uptown a little better. What do you think?
I think that next time you should take 485 to Wilkinson Blvd & then Wilkinson (74) to 277. You get a perfect view of uptown as you approach it, & 277 takes you right by it. No trees need to be cut down.

Slow down everybody! Didn't mean to stir up something here. I love Charlotte, and I believe it's known as "The City of Trees," That was just a frustrating day for me.

My motto is "Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel." I think they ought to put up fence in that part of 77 so you can't see anything. It's too much of a roller derby through there which is made worse by distracted drivers.

If one wants to see downtown, then exit the freeway.

I apologize I should had phrase it different. Maybe you should relocate to a city that you can enjoys the views Dubai Is what I mean. You will get to see the coolest and tallest skyscraper. Google it.
