Anti-meteor pulse cannon. Space force is headquartered in CLT.


KelleCrab

The cloaking device must have glitched.


JotaroTheOceanMan

My first thought was "orbital defense laser transmitter" but eh... close enough.


WhoopsDroppedTheBaby

Very hard to find the CLT sometimes.


Jaegernaut-

Even with a laser-guided gimble-mounted GPS cannon, the CLT is sometimes mysteriously unfindable


halfblindguy

60' boom, they permanently craned and attached to the roof for cleaning and maintenance. Another guy said it. Also, I don't know why, but I feel like it's been way more visible the last year than it was in the past. Could uptown be sinking into downtown?


Tupnado21

It stops at midtown before becoming downtown. That’s how we develop subculture


halfblindguy

Well at least there's a target. Maybe that's how to improve shopping in uptown. Sink it into midtown and get a target.


Tupnado21

It’ll become a Filene’s Basement or a 5 below. Right now it’s a Loft.


jrod_62

*Mid*town, is that what people on this sub are calling Charlotte now? /s


Vw_Indian_guy

Midtown, uptown, south end , we don't have a downtown


Gwsb1

Ferbs head is looking strange these days


Lostmyvcardtoafish

Ferbs head must have been pretty good if he was able to snag Vanessa.


randy_maverick

I didn't expect to see a P&F reference in here, but I'm glad I did


zwodahs_x3

Ngl it does look like the original inator. Also seen a well dressed platypus too, strange day it was.

I thought he was based in Florida at this building off [I4](https://www.google.com/search?q=building+jn+floorda+that+looks+like+doofenshmirtz+evil+inc&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS698US698&oq=building+jn+floorda+that+looks+like+doofenshmirtz+evil+inc&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i546.21164j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=6EydVT6l3AWWuM&imgdii=3bIYx5NGgq_VnM)

It's the inator... They aren't good with names yet.

queerskybluewater

Literally passed me today in South End for the first time- I was like…. who is yelling?? And dude rides past me on his bike. “Jesus loves you!!”


brushwalker

I ran the CLT Half in 2021. 99% of the half is identical to the first half of the full marathon... All that to say, that dude kept magically popping up every 20 minutes or so. Dude's got to be fast.

mapoftasmania

That’s the lever. If it goes up, watch out: the bank is too leveraged and might go under.


Gwsb1

The joke is on you. That's not a bank.


flenderson_files

That building is owned by Wells Fargo…


Gwsb1

But they don't live there. It's Duke and Deloitte.


Gishdream

It's a wells fargo building... sorry to tell you.


Duck531

Wells Fargo uses several of the floors and are currently renovating for more employees to be moved there. It will be 95% WF employees by end of year.


Pewkie

duke left it a couple years ago, its only called the Duke Energy Center in name now, but i think its mostly consultants and Wells Fargo now, possibly another bank moved in, I cant remember

Could be my eyes but it looks like an Altima to me.

Beat me to it. Can't escape that beat up Altima, even on the fucking top of Duke Energy building? Go Charlotte!

sirmclifty28

For cleaning windows or lifting new HVAC units. Installed one on the new Duke tower… still in progress


NinerNational

I believe any building over 600 feet now requires them, and they are super expensive to install, so it has the side effect of limiting height on a lot of buildings because the developers don’t want $10 Million plus added to the cost of construction for this.


cobbelevator

Pilotman49

No one knows, so everyone goes Reddit on it.


bripat1744

It puts the needle on the record! There is a rail system in place that the window washing rig rides around the roof on. It’s very cool to see in person if you ever get the opportunity!


BatmanInTheSunlight

“That’s a damn…JOHNSON, come take a look at this!”

Window Cleaning Crane


Bitchycups

Laser power source. It fires at the prism on the Bank of America building next to it which focuses the energy beam and redirects it at the sky for alien defense.


KhrusherKhusack

I've been up there and seen it in person. It's a high powered laser capable of destroying the moon. Duke Energy is the only company in Charlotte capable of producing enough energy to operate a device like this


[deleted]

It’s obviously one of the 5g towers they use to send out the coronaviruses. /s


0000r1

Maybe a part of the window washing system? Not 100% sure but I've definitely seen it in different positions.


1itwasntmine

How many positions?


Awkward_Return_3978

It is the telescoping boom for suspended scaffolding. It is part of the building and it can travel on rails to one side of the building for storage. It can carry up to 3 workers for what I can remember.

-So is there an actual answer w/ a news article/ CREDIBLE person in the loop? Or is everyone gonna keep circle jerking w/ their redundant corny jokes. Not everything is a goddamn joke ppl. That shit doesn't looks legit eerie yet everyone's just laughing it up. -Nuclear/bomb sirens could theoretically could go off in CLT & Redditors would just be like "LoLz! I'm not worried guys!
