truly be considered real, bonafide Charlotte Boring, there has to be an attempt made to surgically extract any whimsy that flashy colors might have bestowed on the building. At least in San Diego there's a little color, bile green as it is. In Charlotte, true Charlotte Boring, there is only beige.
I wonder if perhaps we could work this into a tourism slogan. Many cities are known for their architecture and play it up as an attraction. Charlotte?
"Charlotte: Come for the beige EIFS, stay for the blue glass..."
