The rendering is a little outdated at this point……..is there a new one in the works?

Duh, no vacation for me
I was very busy, though… So busy that I couldn’t even reply to Matt’s new photos. Anyway, the crane at the Charter Square/Site One is a fact, but nothing to celebrate just yet. Once we see the North Tower getting built, we can cheer 
They should begin some time in 2009, though. Don’t know anything about the extension, but it looks like it’s ready. Without City Plaza, however, it means nothing to have an extension to Lenoir. By the end of 2009 we should see the whole thing ready, if my calculations are correct.

Question: Front entrance to the Convention Center - are there still going to be light towers and water fountains. Have seen the web cams, where are the fountains or water feature? Let me guess, another budget cut.
This building is a good addition to downtown, but I am not impressed (and never have been), by the design (looks very bland).

Ernest, did you tell us you were going out of town on vacation, and I missed it? Do you know if John F is right about what the Crane is doing there? (I think, what else could it be, but then, with the economy in a shambles…)
Also, do you know about the extension of Fayettevill St. to Lenoir? When I peeked through the plastic (or whatever it’s made of) screen the other day, it looked like the street was nearly finished. It would be nice to see that barrier down. The Marriott must be very close to complete. The sign says opening in August.

There is a crane up across Fayetteville Street from the Marriott. The foundation work has started on the towers across Fayetteville Street from the Marriott. Maybe soon we will see new towers rising.

Just a suggestion to Matt R., the S. Wilmington Street view of downtown is probably my favorite view, so I would take a shot or two from there, that would look amazing.
