Last month I found myself in Richmond, VA, Charlotte, NC, and Greenville, SC. My photos and thoughts about each city are available in threads at the SkyscraperPage photography discussion forum (links below) or via flickr.

Thread links:
Richmond | Charlotte | Greenville

All three are interesting cities. Richmond may have been the capital of the Confederacy, but structurally it’s a mid-Atlantic city and feels much like a smaller version of Washington (or rather, Washington 10-15 years ago pre-gentrification). Charlotte has gorgeous skyscrapers and a nifty new light rail line, and although Greenville is smaller, it has one of America’s coolest downtown parks.

Here are a few samples:
