That was excellent. I wish more people documented things like that. I forgot about the old walkway that connected the Ivey’s building and Belk’s building (now Bank of America Tower).

Very cool find. Thanks!

Great video!

It’s weird (telling) though that there seems to be more people in the street & walking around 22 years ago vs. now that they’ve built up the city. On a related note, there was a Belks Dept store in town…here’s hoping that they bring back more street retail.

My how the style of the cars have changed … the gas prices have skyrocketed … and Charlotte has really grown and you can still see the construction is still going on.

And remember that we were here then … we moved here in 1984 when you were 3 months old so you were living here then and at the ripe old age of almost 2. And like Deanna … look at those gas prices … wouldn’t that be nice now ???
