UPTOWN — Every time I pass this thing, I have to ask myself: What the fuck? Why does it look like that? Is it a warning? A prophecy? A mistake no one will admit to?
The city offers no answers. So here are five completely rational theories.
1. Charlotte’s failed attempt at a portal to the airport
It made more sense than adding a lightrail line instead.
2. Mr. Krabs’ first dime
I don’t think you can convince me it’s anything else.
3. Megatron’s Sphincter
If this thing ever opens, Charlotte is over.
4. A map of the city’s road system
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
5. One of the wheels from Charlotte’s first Altima, circa 1900 AD
It was already missing a hubcap.
