CityViewNC.com | 21 found unbridled joy and freedom under the rotating mirror balls and flashing lights. We found love. If only for a summer. We also learned about this thing in life called timing. And the power of ambition – including an unquenchable desire to go to college and become a journalist. Yet, it's also an amazing gi when, years later, we reconnect and friendships form. (anks, Facebook.) During that magical summer of '77, the Skyline was situated on the top floor of what was then the Wachovia bank building. Now it is the Systel building, owned by Keith Allison, who I hear from a reliable source visited the Skyline a time or two when he was just starting to build his empire. (Many aren't surprised he'd end up owning a mega business equipment company, the tallest building in town and a whole lot more.) In June, news broke in this magazine that Allison Capital Partners might be transforming the former Skyline space into a restaurant and/or an events/meetings venue as part of an overall $3 million building makeover. I couldn't help but think there's gold in that space to cater to baby boomers who have the disposable income for fine dining, music and dancing (even if our hips and knees are creakier these days). And, of course, there's the appeal of panoramic city views, now with more buildings and twinkling lights than in yesteryear. Call it the Skyline II. Create a wall that pays homage to the '70s, so millennials and Gen Z can see Grandma and Grandpa doing the hustle or knocking out a line dance. Before the disco lights faded into the '80s, ushering an era of "Dallas" and "Dynasty," big shoulder pads and conspicuous consumption. I hope someone has a photo of a girl in a silvery dress on the dance floor, moving like she doesn't have a care in the world, with her entire future in front of her. She was going to be a writer. To see the world. And she did. Only to return to her hometown. And, now, that girl is seriously thinking about "returning to the Skyline" on Aug. 21 as CityView Magazine holds its first-ever "Summer in the City" throwback blast in the nostalgia-filled space. Who would have thought? Forty-four years later. But first, there's just one pressing matter.
