Just discovered your channel. I live hear born and raised. The city has changed so much. I talk to my dad all the time who was also born and raised here and even he can’t believe it sometimes.
Good evening my good friend Mike !! I really enjoy watching your videos as it’s quite relaxing and how beautiful of a city Charlotte ,NC ; I live about 5-6 hours from Charlotte. Thanks for the time and effort you put forward into making these videos. Enjoyed today’s drive through the heart of the city. Definitely looking forward for upcoming videos through different major cities. Hoping that you are planning on a tramsCanadian trip because Canada 🇨🇦 is a beautiful country which I’d honestly love to see Keep up the great work and many thumbs up !!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍
It’s amazing to look at Charlotte now. I lived there in 1985. There were no buildings higher than 7 floors back then. Now they’ve got skyscrapers galore like other big cities.
@@guitarcomet5 Yeah, you must have forgotten. There were 3 to 4 tall building uptown in the early 70's. The 32 story First Union building opened in 1971, followed by the 40 story NCNB tower in 74.
Sadly, downtown Charlotte lost a cornerstone when Belk’s Department Store, a massive complex between Trade, 5th, College, and Tryon streets was demolished. The classic Ivey’s across Tryon St. closed shortly thereafter.
Why does that bus disappear at S. Tryon and 4th st? It's turning the corner from 4th st onto S. Tryon and it slowly vanishes before it gets all the way on S. Tryon.? Really freaky! You see the same person on the motorcycle across the street. Same people that cross the street but the bus disappears. WTF?
I actually emailed the city about why they renamed it Brooklyn Village and not simply Brooklyn, because the old neighborhood was never a village or refereed to as such. The answer was because Brooklyn Avenue is already being used near East 10th Avenue and the future development that is going to replace Marshall Park is called Brooklyn Village. Now you know too.
I been there.at night.at the greyhound bus terminal.waiting to get a ride back to tennessee.to leave a jerk marine i lived with.worst mistake i ever made.living with him.never felt like home.i lived in shelby nc.never going back.
@@sharonrivers1347That was your worst experience doesn’t mean everyone else going be terrible. I visited Charlotte NC had a wonderful experience love it ❤
idk if he drove around freedom dr it would look pretty gentrified there are tons of expensive apartments now on freedom and even Beaties ford looks completely different now with the train going there now.
Most people are not interested in seeing the poor side of any thing. We rather pretend it does not exist, so we can go on feeling good about our lives. We actually get upset when we are forced to see the homeless, urban decay, and rural poverty. Homeless people know this and it explains why they come up to town square and lay down right in front of us so we will have to walk around them.

@@dannywayne3219Duality is a real thing. Up/Down, Left/Right, Beautiful/Ugly. Everywhere/Everyone has an opposite.
Yes, it is really beautiful.

South Tryon is also NC Highway 49 until it turns left at Morehead Street. Notice the arrow for NORTH NC 49 is facing the wrong way at 2:00.
It's been like that for a while too if I recall. I'm surprised NCDOT hasn't fixed it.

Charlotte had skyscrapers in 1985. The city had plenty of buildings higher than 7 floors back then.
@@MichaelTrogdon1990 maybe I’m mistaken…but I don’t recall anything higher than 7 floors except for a few hotels at the airport.

@@Cap-ku6ok I remember the NCNB tower…but it didn’t seem that tall. I must be losing my memory. 🤔
Nice drive through Downtown Charlotte NC
its called uptown charlotte

my city. 💯👊🏾
Lived in Charlotte a few years back. There it’s called uptown, not downtown.
I'm born and raised here. Real originals call it downtown to be honest. I hate they try calling it uptown.
@@murph9159, I apologize, I certainly didn’t know that.
@@murph9159 you're crazy. I've lived here for almost 20 years and have only ever heard it called Uptown.
@@murph9159 I was born and raised there it's been called uptown all my life. It's even written on signs everywhere there.
@@GeometricMason Larry Sprinkle calls it uptown everyone at WCNC called it uptown I lived in Gaston County 6 years
North Carolina. Never been there before. I wish I would but where I live it's quite far away.

Oh yeah that makes sense. I remember seeing that Brooklyn Ave. over off 10th Street. They just put up some new condos over there a few years ago.
Charlotte is pretty
I would mind visiting Charlotte NC

Back in nc
Had to finish up the last few weeks of work. We'll resume the northeast trip this week.
@@MileageMikeTravels ok
Scary Place these days
I don’t Know!! The city was Charlotte, North Carolina or Greensboro, North Carolina?
There's Charlotte and then there's Greensboro and they are both in North Carolina
It’s funny calling it downtown. When I was growing up they called it uptown.
They still do!
This city was a Great The But Inner Road in North Carolina…. Downtown Charlotte
Are you living in Charlotte?
Technically yes, but currently traveling the country.
It been 6 years since I been to North Carolina
Been more then that for me.like to keep it that way.i now live where i shoulda stayed in the ist place.tennessee.i love it.
My family. lives there
Just about every large city I see is devoid of people. Where are all the people.
It’s CLT so this has to be just a dry day cause everyone knows NC is the hotspot to move to especially clt so it’s actually way to many people 😂
Videos nice but why are you not showing the other side of Charlotte like on the west side West Charlotte
Exactly. Or tent city!

@@Cap-ku6ok This UA-camr has made videos of the West side of Charlotte.
Nearly 100 videos on almost every part of Charlotte
ua-cam.com/play/PLnS3Ajs4YX_zUBYnHMlKeFwfHhyEAGl-w.html
Thought it was called Uptown, not downtown.
True but people not from Charlotte will search for Downtown instead of Uptown. Makes it easier to find the video.
I would like to see interstate 95 Baltimore at night
This is Uptown ... not Downtown bruh !!!!
I know but for UA-cam SEO most people will be searching for 'Downtown' if they're not familiar with Charlotte.
