Where in the CLT?
Posted on 28 Apr 2008 by Ben Ullman
Can you identify the eight buildings in the images above? All are within an easy walk of the center of Uptown Charlotte. The first person to name all eight in the comments wins a signed, limited-edition.…. um, bragging rights, or maybe even one of the cool new CLT Blog T-shirts when we get them from the presses.
Flickr is a good resource to help you find the buildings’ names.
You can also look around here and you might see the full-size versions.
1. the Imaginon
2. Trademark
3. 121 West Trade
4. Johnson & Wales
5. Bank of America Corporate Center
6. The Hearst Tower
7. The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center
8. The Epicentre
Wow, I do not know my Charlotte buildings.. My guesses:
5 — Bank of America Building
6 — hertz tower
7 — Bobcats Arena
8 — EpiCenter construction?
The others I have no idea. I should spend more time Uptown than I do…
1 — Imaginon
Rick for the GOLD!
hmmm… #5 is not BoA.
ooo i know, but i don’t know its name
yea, I don’t either. LOL. I’m checking Google Maps now to try & figure out the ones I’m unsure of…
Rick got 7 out of 8 correct. I’m impressed! I’m gonna maintain the suspense and see if you guys can figure out that last one…
1. ImaginOn

Isn’t #5 the capital grille?? Or whatever the name of the building it is in??
Okay, Jon has got them all!
Christina is out in left field.
Cathy is right about Capital Grill, too, I think.

doh!
so whats the prize ben?
this could be a cool repeating content feature.
Yeck, yea. I plan to do this again. And it will get harder!
Justin did a slight edit before publication and put in the part about some CLT Blog t-shirts… I think Rick and Jon should each get one!
I will wear my new shirt with pride! And I welcome the next contest–I am always up for a geographic/architectural challenge. Bring it on, Ben!
That was actually Matt w/ the prize editing. And it is official, both Rick and Jon get our wicked new shirts. As soon as we get them!
Rick, Jon, send me your shirt sizes (American Apparel if it matters): justin at cltblog.
Shirts? I want a shirt! How much?
we will all get shirts very soon, SHIRTS FOR EVERYONE!
