Uptown Charlotte


Randy and I decided to spend a rainy Saturday exploring our city with a camera.





For only around 5 bucks each, we rode the awesome lightrail system that runs from the uptown area south to Pineville.








7th Street Station: the northernmost stop lands us in the middle of "uptown".




We spotted this building just a block from the station. It looks like there are silver sequins on the outside.




Beautiful black glass deco building.











The woman for whom our city
was named: Queen Charlotte.




Restaurants in the Epicentre.






Mirror statue entitled "The Firebird" in front of the newly-opened museum of modern art.









Play hopscotch and learn how to read simultaneously!










Self-explanatory.....








A neon sign inside Spirit Square. Charlotteans have a sense of humor....
