Reader's take on best skyline view




In Living Here magazine, I wrote about the best spot in the city to see the skyline: the Seventh Street Station parking deck.

Reader Jeffrey Houser, who moved to Charlotte from Maine in May 2007, begged to differ -- and that's cool.
"While there are probably several great viewpoints, my favorite has always been at the top of what I call 'the Panthers' parking garage,' which is really the garage behind the hotel next to the BofA Stadium," House said in an e-mail.

He continued: "Of coure, the skyline is changing daily and some of the newer buildings that are going up aren't seen as well from that vantage pint, but the heart of the city is in all its glory from there. It can look fabulous on a warm summer evening as the sun sets in!"

Houser also sent two photos -- at the top of this post -- from that vantage point, both taken this past summer.
Where do you go for skyline views?

There is a parking deck behind morehead and euclid near royal court that has spectacular unobstructed views of uptown.

The view from Wilkinson Blvd as you drive into town from the airport. You get everything including the Stadium.
