I have no idea what's happening here, as it appears some guy is spraying the building with a hose, while a guy in a suit stands on stage, holding an umbrella...? http://www.angelfire.com/nc3/experience-charlotte/ijlgroundlevel.jpg Unfortunately, in so many shots, IJL Financial Center seems to only be 'in the way' of Hearst or BofA, as with this shot: http://www.angelfire.com/nc3/experience-charlotte/images/bofaatnight.jpg Some more: Here are some more shots.

If you put this building in, say, Raleigh or Memphis, it would be the featured skyscraper in the skyline. I know my old hometown of Buffalo would die to have this building in their downtown. While BofA comes across as the elegant 'royal' tower, and Hearst comes across as the exotic 'notice me' tower, IJL just seems to come across as a sophistocated but quiet tower, that lets BofA and Hearst have all the attention. IMO, Interstate Tower has a very similar 'personality', if you will. Okay, enough babbling about skyscraper personalities...:nuts: matthew_p2004 February 9th, 2004, 10:49 PM Cool building...it looks even better in person! 8/10 The Messiah March 5th, 2004, 07:52 PM This tower rocks! :guns1: 8.5/10 james2390 March 5th, 2004, 11:17 PM Great photos!
