Downtown Charleston is more dense than most of other Charleston, but it is still not dense. Charleston is actually infamous for NOT being dense. If you have info on the population density of downtown Charleston I would love to see it, but I wouldnt base it on looks. Charleston is generally an empty city even downtown.
I'm talking about building density, not population density.
As far as comparing Pittsburgh and Charleston there are alot of similarities. One being both cities' downtowns are located at the merger of two important rivers. Both cities have the same type of architechture, and both are rust belt type cities. Most people would agree that Charleston is a mini Pittsburgh, and that both have bonded in some ways. The skylines are different, but the architecture is the same.
Exactly. Everyone knows Charleston is a much smaller city. I wasn't saying Charleston and Pittsburgh were the same, just that downtown Charleston (in terms of architecture and building density) reminds me of downtown Pittsburgh. I wasn't saying that Charleston has skyscrapers, because obviously that isn't true. Yes, Pittsburgh has skyscrapers, but the view from street-level looks a lot like the view in downtown Charleston.
I'd like to take your word for that, but having spent a great deal of time in both places I never had that impression. Maybe if you're standing right next to a bus and can't see anything else?
And, Chris... Charleston "bonding" with Pittsburgh? Interesting. Where in the world do you get that?
Folks, i've started a Charleston, WV thread on the General US page, if there are any takers.
Back to Chase Tower though. That plaza will be a great place becasue it will make a good connector between Capital St./Village District and the riverfront at Haddad Riverfront Park and the trails.
The Chase Tower in Richmond is NOT in West Virginia Richmond is in VIRGINIA since 1863
Try the Chase Tower in Charleston WEST Virginia
Who are you talking to? And why did you dig up a thread that is 8 years old?
