LOL, wouldn't a "China Town" mean that Charlotte had at one point had a history of Chinese coming here?

You can't just invent history like that

Gateway station is in the cards but the spur that trains would have to take to navigate to this station (where current Greyhound station stands) is owned by a private rail company who's main motivation is not passenger service. So they've been less than helpful getting this plan to fruition. Couple with it that this is also a project where the state is involved so that automatically makes for a longer timeline.
I knew the project was proposed but I don't think it will ever happen. Maybe redoing the current station since rail is already there and its central would be nice. Have a nice skybridge to the adjacent buildings and connect to the rest of them like Wells, BofA, Hilton, and BBT do.

Why not build the transit station in phases? Scale it back some also. That version seems a little over the top and expensive to me. The Raleigh station is being built in phases. Looks like its working out we. Just a thought.

There are many new hotels being developed and proposed for the city. It would be nice to see all of them come to life, and Charlotte host the Super Bowl in the newly renovated BOA Stadium in the future.

Nothing wrong with the Mints or Bechtler.

Not a museum guy but if Charlotte had museums comparable to those why the hell would I need visit such places to claim a cultural transformation then brag amongst friends to impress my buds and co-workers? Just giving you a hard time but the elitist attitude is a bit overplayed.

I think Charlotte will continue to expand these offerings that reflect city size.

What I'd like to see is a heavy investment in transportation infrastructure (rail and freeway) and smarter growth.
