Well worth watching:

Cool video, those renderings look really good indeed (Wachovia is going to really stretch the skyline out). BTW, I've been wondering about something as I have read through this and other Charlotte threads. Why is the Charlotte CBD area referred to as "uptown" instead of "downtown"? Does "uptown" include more than the CBD? Just curious about that as I am trying to learn more about your beautiful city.
