That Winston-Salem photo isn’t even the entire skyline. It’s missing the 500 w. 5th (old GMAC tower). I love that NC has so many different skylines and city centers. I would definitely include Wilmington in the list.
Charlotte will not have multiple skylines like Atlanta. Raleigh probably will with “midtown.” If midtown doesn’t already have south park beat, it will and the Gap will widen. South Park can only build in the remaining parking lots and is hemmed in my historical neighborhoods with no interstate access.

Yeah that’s the only decent aerial shots I could find, that Greensboro shot is from like 2015, has none of the new developments near the ballpark. Or any develops on elm street.
I plan to get some awesome shots of Greensboro and W-S with my new drone.

Since when is Hickory considered the Charlotte region?
They are not per the Census Bureau, but they work together as one region for workforce development. Catawba County and the Charlotte Regional Business Alliance collaborate and include Catawba in a 15 county Charlotte region for job development.
It’s not a bigger downtown. It just has more office space. It’s a few buildings by a mall. It’s not that serious. And I honestly question that figure.
Is it by office space? Class A office space? By workers? I don’t see how.
It is more than just a few buildings by a mall. When I read the article it was by office space and workers. South Park is an entire neighborhood and business district akin to Buckhead with smaller towers and no rail service.....I will find and post the article.

No disrespect but SouthPark definitely feels bigger and busier than downtown Raleigh. Taller buildings do not make it bigger...
