Anybody work in uptown Charlotte?

[Iceberg Slim]

I can imagine the traffic mess, number of people, police etc uptown this week during the DNC....is your company allowing you to work out of the house this week?

[Sapper]

Don't work uptown, but everyone I know that does have basically been given the option of PTO or a work-at-home - other than those that absolutely need to be at work.

Duke Energy, Ally, and a couple others are all working from home. I know a medical group who moved their drs to other locations

I work uptown, but I'm out of state :P

I've been in touch with a few people - they're still coming in, but working longer hours to minimize traffic. Makes no sense to me.

I'm working from home.

Uptown really isn't as bad as you'd think though. Parking would be a nightmare, but actually getting around isn't too bad.

Yeah, I have a few appointments this week that were rescheduled because of the DNC.

Ghost town this morning on the way out.

Except for the new CMPD cops on their damn motorbikes racing down my street like they are Travis Pastrana at all hours of the day.

BOA had made arrangements to move a bunch of their employees to space in Ballantyne. Then Hillary/Bill decided to stay in Ballantyne and we have road closures as well.

Like a dumbass I decided to go downtown for my normal lunchtime run. After viewing the street closing map, I decided to take the train. It wasn't that bad except finding parking was pretty much impossible (parked illegally at the Scalybark station). Train was packed with media, volunteers, etc. Went for my run, cops and helicopters everywhere. Taking the train back was not bad, and there was some exceptionally hot ass to view as well.

My "lunch hour" took two hours though. And I fell in front of Amos' Southend. They had these screens set up for some private party and they blocked the sidewalk. Jumping over some sandbags, I busted my ass. I will require the services of an attorney.

Michelle Obama and kids.....Hillary/Bill are staying at the Ballantyne Lodge (corner of Ballantyne Commons and Ballantyne Corp Place).

This is the reason that Ballantyne Commons is clsoed between Community House and Johnston Rd....and the reason that Ballantyne Corp is closed from the bridge crossing Johnston down to Ballantyne Commons.

My office is on Ballantyne Corp and I can look out my sindow and see the check point.

well at least johnston is still open....I am sure traffic going home is going to be miserable

277 wasn't too bad today at rush hour, morning or evening. I took off work on Thursday, though, just so I don't have to worry about it.
