Andria Krewson sends this picture from a project on hold not far from downtown Charlotte, N.C.
She writes that the WWII-era Morningside Apartments used to be here, before they were bulldozed in August 2007 to make way for ... you know, for something.
"In the mean time, grass and weeds hold down the dirt," Krewson writes.
The $65 million project was to have been a planned community of 10 blocks, with 400 apartments and 600 residences for sale. Residents were to enjoy 25,000 square feet of restaurants and shops. The developer told the Charlotte Observer last year that the site provides "a unique opportunity to provide quality homes in a setting with history, character and green space."
