  • This video is a tour down some of Uptown Charlotte's busiest and liveliest streets at night. Along the way, you'll see the new amazing Duke Energy Center, Wells Fargo Cultural Center, NASCAR Hall Fame, EpiCentre, and One Bank of America Center. I hope you enjoy this video of North Carolina's busiest and largest city and one of the US' rising stars!

    OMG! This makes me somewhat miss Charlotte, in which it's the city I was born and raised in. I didn't know it had grown exponentially in such a little time. I left Charlotte in 2004 and moved to Atlanta, GA. IT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIVELY like you said. I'm going to have to visit my hometown once again.

    Thank you for posting this. It sure brought back memroies. I've been in Charlotte a lot since my grandparents lived there. We will usually visit for Thanksgiving or Passover. I've been going to Charlotte for a long period of time, since 1970 when my grandparents moved there. I've seen the city grow too. It's been amazing. I remember looking at the Charlotte skyline before the Nations Bank Building was around. The old one that is!

    It's boring only if you don't know what to do. The first year after I moved here I thought this is the most boring city in the world. But now after three years of living here, I discovered that there are so many things to do in and around Charlotte.

    Great Video of driving downtown at nights and the illumination of all the city street lights and buildings looks lively. I do miss this living in Charlotte. It has a great progressive feel and modern style.

    You did an awesome job on this video.......it reminds me of Freewayjims videos. I like his stuff. I live in uptown charlotte in the 4th ward.... it was really cool to see my area in this video. I think you should also tour Ballantyne area of charlotte. Its a pretty cool place to video, maybe during the day. It was a great video and cant wait to see more of your work on my great city. I also loved the soundtrack on this video. I downloaded the song after I heard it on here... LOL

  • @FreewayBrent
    @FreewayBrent 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to say, this is an excellent video. There's a ton of color to Uptown Charlotte, from what I could see. After watching this video, I can say, without hesitation, that it's a much more pleasant downtown area vs. Los Angeles! Are you going to be filming any street tours of Charlotte's liveliest districts, away from Uptown? I'd love to see such a video in the future.

  • @jimbo41pie
    @jimbo41pie 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Charlotte is one of the greatest cities in the world. And seeing the Charlotte skyline at night is something to behold.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Freewayjim I got a lot of my inspiration for this video from you. I borrowed your idea of speeding up the traffic at the traffic lights. I really like how you've done that in past videos! I am absolutely in love with the new Duke Energy Center shown in the beginning of the video. It's really cool that the LED's at the top and along the building light up and flash in Panther blue when they score. No more night games in Charlotte for the Panthers though this season to show that in a video :-/

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @0DR0 Yeah, I agree with you. I wish the VUE was more lit up and I had wanted to showcase Catalyst and the Ally building in this but decided to focus mainly on Trade, Tryon, and College. I shot this on Friday, September 3, 2010 between around 11:30 PM - 12:00 AM. Me, too! I was kind of wary of the tower at first since I thought it may not blend in with its surroundings but I love it now! It's actually one of my favorite skyscrapers now. Thanks for watching!

    @TheFatCigar Thank you! If you haven't been to Charlotte before, it's definitely worth a visit. I'm not sure if it's listed anywhere else on here, but the song I used for the intro is "The Anthem" by Filo & Peri. :-)

    Why do people from Atlanta ALWAYS try to compare Charlotte to them? ITS TWO DIFFERENT CITIES THAT SO HAPPEN TO BE IN THE SOUTH!!! its not a competition. seriously.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @TransitAlderman Thank you!

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AKim1217 Yes! I've already planned to do SouthPark next time I'm in the Charlotte area (likely on Black Friday so that video should be *very* interesting). I'm also looking at filming NoDa, Elizabeth, and Dilworth as well.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @dhcave haha don't worry about it! :-) Not many people in the US have heard of Charlotte and often confuse it with Charlottesville, VA or Charleston, SC. I've actually talked to some people before who thought it was IN South Carolina... I plan to make a few more videos on Charlotte's inner-ring neighborhoods so stay tuned!

  • @erydiam
    @erydiam 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    just I can say that Charlotte is as big city as New York ..a pleasure to know it...

  • @VoiceoverIsland
    @VoiceoverIsland 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for posting. The "City Center" of Philadelphia (where I live in a suburb) looks very much like this, except Charlotte has many more trees, much to the town's credit. I'm tied by family to this area, and I do love it, BUT if I ever have the option, moving to Charlotte seems like the perfect way to give up nothing about urban
    living, while leaving behind the harsh northeast winters.

    • @goderickalcide5703
      @goderickalcide5703 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude if you have the chance to move here do it. I'm from Philadelphia and was stationed at Fort Bragg. I said that i'd never go back to Philly except to visit family. I visited Charlotte and when I got out of the Army I moved back here.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @sunshineunc Thank you! While I've learned a lot from Freewayjim, he's definitely the ultimate master when it comes to these kinds of videos. I actually live in Winston-Salem and travel to Charlotte at least once a month. I have an upcoming tour of Myers Park, SouthEnd, and Elizabeth that I plan on releasing this weekend. When I go back I plan on filming the upscale areas such as South Park and Ballantyne. Thank you again for watching! :-)

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Astoria1287 Thanks! I think Downtown started being referred to as Uptown in the late 80s or early 90s when city leaders were trying to bring people back downtown and rebrand it.

    @cam100595 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    WOW! Charlotte is looking like a mini Atlanta! its so hard to belive Atlanta has a smaller city population than Charlotte.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    @cam100595 While Atlanta has a smaller city population, it's metro population is 3x Charlotte's. Atlanta's city population cannot match Charlotte's growth rate, because the city cannot legally annex like it once was able to. On the other hand, Charlotte gobbles up land very quickly. It is one of the largest cities in the country in terms of land area.

    @autopreneur Another night video of other districts in Charlotte and Downtown Raleigh at night on the horizon soon depending when I get back to those two cities. Richmond and DC (not southern, I know haha) will be in December. I want to do some more videos of Atlanta but I'm not sure when I'll be down there again.

  • @Raptor3400

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @AashaBiancaB I've read how many Atlanta residents are looking to relocate to cities such as Charlotte. It's kind of funny, because Atlanta was once THE place to move to 20 or so years ago.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @GeoffJennyOliver I filmed this at about 12 AM, too. If I filmed this 15 or so years ago, none of those people would be on the street. Uptown was strictly a 9-5 workplace and has made an amazing comeback in the last decade.

  • @CosmoPhotography
    @CosmoPhotography  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @McBearPEI Ehh the first one was my fault completely. I have limited HD recording time on my camera (Canon 7D) and only 10GB worth of memory cards on me. I didn't want to sit there at the light and waste valuable recording time. I, also, haven't known CLT traffic lights to be that quick. The second time was because I couldn't see over the CATS bus and assumed that if he was going as well as the other drivers around me then the coast was clear.

  • @CosmoPhotography
