I know this has gotta be old but I just saw it for the first time and I'm dying laughing. Anyone in here know who made this? #dragonballZ #dbza #steamedhams

Had a damn good ride yesterday on #XCLT.
Missing a good friend today, RIP John, you would have loved this weather.

So many problems in the CTC could be fixed with a pressure washer and a coat of paint. And maybe more enforcement of the non-smoking policy. Not going to snap pics of random riders though so you'll have to take my word for it 😅 #CharlotteNC

It's both fascinating and infuriating to see these screens sitting in the pavilion, just collecting rope-sized cobwebs. This is a feature that should have been updated 10 years ago, not left to rot! You can even see the screen burn on these old CRTs #CharlotteNC

This is what you see from our Transportation Center as soon as you come in from the Blue Line. This is why I'm thrilled that we're reinvesting in fixing this place up over spending a fortune on a new one. The biggest issue with the CTC is a lack of care, not a lack of potential.

A shot of Sharon Rd Station from the pedestrian bridge. To the left is the Norfolk Southern R line, connecting Charlotte, NC to Rock Hill, SC. It would be fantastic to one day have heavy rail service linking the two cities, and offer an alternative to the nightmare of I-77.
