Definately not Charlotte-sized, Raleigh-sized, or even Winston-Salem-sized. I don't know how I feel about high rises in Wilmington because it would really alter the appearance of the historic, riverfront city we have today. There are plans right now for a new structure south of the riverfront, where the memorial bridge crosses over Front Street. I don't think it is supposed to be tall though.
No, no, no, no, please no. Wilmington is perfect just the way it is.

That's Johnson & Wales University. What a cool place to go to school.

For some reason my favorite building is the Westin Hotel.

Here's a nice shot of the Hearst Tower.

Thanks to all who enjoyed the pictures. I just want to showcase to others who may not know what the city of Charlotte has to offer. I am still looking for more pictures that showcase some more of the urban happenings in the original Queen City.

Here is a video of my favorite view of Charlotte's skyline. Watching this in "high quality" will give you a much clearer picture!!! The 45 second mark of this video starts to show Charlotte's high rises. This video was taken within the last month from on top of Discovery Place's parking deck. Enjoy!!!

I did not like the Westin when it was first built (it looked like a futuristic Waffle in the sky) but I must admit it has grown on me LOL!!! Here is a video from the Stonewall Lynx station. This video shows the Nascar Hall and the Westin. Enjoy!!!

Here is another view of uptown's skyline that I like!!!

YouTube - Panthers Sunday

I think I have shown this one before, but this video shows uptown's growing pano!!!

I like the Hearst tower myself. I think that would be cool if it had the same design but was the tallest building in Charlotte at like 900+ feet. But I guess it is only a fantasy now.
