New buildings, lights add a splash of color to night time skyline

For years, the colored lights outlining the Duke Energy Center have hogged attention on Charlotte’s night skyline, changing for holidays and the city’s sports teams.

The lights ringing each floor have been red, blue and white in recent nights, giving the building an early Fourth of July appearance. more from charlotteobserver.com
