I would say with the recent additions of Duke Energy Center and the VUE, Charlotte's Uptown skyline may be more complete and have a little bit more flair, especially in the nightime department.

Thats why I chose it. Charlotte is much more beautiful at night, in my opinion. Has much better buildings, in my opinion again, and I never really liked Atlantas skyline.

Well by "complete," ForYourLungsOnly was referring to architectural diversity as one factor. While I love DEC and the Vue is nice (wish they would have built it with the spires), they don't really add much in the way of architectural diversity to the skyline. I do think that DT Atlanta's skyline has more styles of architecture than uptown Charlotte's.

I was not trying to imply that Charlotte is more complete than Atlanta, but that it is more complete than before. I also wish they added the spires to the VUE as well. As far as architectural design, we may just have to agree to disagree. I think Charlotte's building do have an array of diversity. I think it may not get noticed due to the relatively small amount of of 600ft buildings. But with the Hearst Tower, IJL building, Carillon Tower, One First Union, BOA Corporate Center, DEC, VUE, among others I think Charlotte's architectural diversity packs a decent punch.
does anybody from charlotte know of the future plans for uptown charlotte? just curious as to if there is a plan out there to build a midtown, downtown, etc.
and what about another line for the light rail system?

So far any sort of building is stagnant but who knows what will happen. LRT has faced some funding issues but they are coming up with creative ways to overcoming this.

Gotcha.

All of those are very contemporary designs and belong to the same general category of architecture. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I don't think of them as representative of a variety of architectural styles. I don't think Atlanta's most prominent DT towers are that much more architecturally varied, but I think it does have an edge here.
