Beginning tonight, if you’re anywhere near uptown Charlotte you’ll be able to see what’s taken months of public testing to complete, a light show in the new Duke Energy Building!
The 48 story building will begin showcasing some of it’s lighting capabilities, which includes 2 minute shows at the top of every hour beginning at 8pm tonight.
According to the Charlotte Observer, “the lights will display a default white setting from 30 minutes before sunset each evening until after the final show at midnight. The lights will come on again at about 5 a.m. for the morning commute, then turn off after sunrise.”
If you’ve been around Charlotte for any length of time than you know that this won’t be the first building to be lit of with a variety of different lights and colors, but I believe it might be the first one that has the ability to create motion with the lights.

This past weekend Rock Hill and Fort Mill SC experienced the 3rd winter storm in as many weeks. It’s been my experience that we typically get one storm per winter season, but not this year! This year, we’ve had at least 5 and who knows how many more could be on the way before it’s all over with!
At any rate, I absolutely LOVE how pretty snow is and certainly enjoyed this past weekends snow fall.
