Sharing a photo from a week ago. This is the Starbucks we stopped at when taking photos of the Peaches in the Pink.

le Meridien
This photo, of the le Meridien hotel, was taken because of the unique design on the side of the building. The hotel is associated with the Marriott Bonvoy and can be found at 555 South McDowell Street.
crane lift
Recently I walked under a crane lift and took this photo. The street was closed to auto traffic but open to foot traffic. A very interesting perspective however I question my wisdom for stopping to take the photo :)
Following is a link to an article about the Marriott to be constructed at the corner of Stonewall and College streets.
mural by @able
Wish I knew the story behind this mural. I noticed the mural on a recent walk in Uptown Charlotte. It can be found at the intersection of Brevard and 3rd Street.

not for photos
The Charlotte lite rail system has a public service message which caught my eye. The message is “Tracks are not for photos!”. Note that I am not encouraging the behavior by also sharing the sign which encourages “Live on the Edge”.
In addition to sharing the public service message I am sharing a second photo which shows the popular Rail Trail which is next to the lite rail tracks. My wife and I, along which many others, enjoy walking the Rail Trail.

wash your hands
While on a stroll today, I took this photo such that I could share the timely reminder to please wash your hands :)
The art is found at the intersection of intersection of McDowell and Trade Street in Uptown Charlotte.

peaches in the pink
We made a short trip recently and stopped at a Starbooks in Fort Mill South Carolina, just outside of Charlotte. This photo shows a peach orchard at Baxter Towne Center which has a village look and feel. If we did not live in Uptown Charlotte this would be my second of third choice.

Museum Tower apartments
On a walk, through Uptown Charlotte, this scene caught my eye. The flowering tree is in a small park called the Green. The building, in the background, is the Museum Tower apartments. The apartments are built on top of the Mint Museum.
On a personal note. The Green is next to the condos we live in. As a result this is a scene we enjoy regularly.
