  1. They're pouring concrete today. Travis and Dallas streets are closed, the cement pumper is on Dallas
  2. more public land... i read that as a place for bums to sleep, and for dogs to crap....
  3. if it is, it's going to be really, really nice
  4. yep. The bathtub was it. One level of basement was all the Foley's had. They had to dig down another 10' for the foundation for the new tower, and for the crane anchors
  5. an old friend did an engineering survey on the foundation of that building a few years ago. He said it was so thick and so huge that after a nuclear war, the only things what will survive are cockroaches and that slab.
  6. have you seen the cops today? The only thing they can run down is a donut... lol
  7. I have tried to get the scaffolding at BoA too, but can't get the zoom.... what are they doing over there?
  8. just one yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6h39zwWYc8&list=UU6r4Zq6Aen2RHPz2RYPIPuw&feature=c4-overview
  9. I have a short video of the first horizontal piece going on the crane. I'll post it when I get home tonight
  10. they covered up the brick facade by gluing the new facade to the brick. it is the glue that ruined the brick facade. well, the glue and the ugly stuff it was holding on to the brick...
  11. haven't seen noticeable progress on this in a while- that doesn't mean they're not doing anything...
  12. this was the second stop on the stumble today (the one that turned into a stroll...lol) 1111 Travis? Is that going to be the Hilcorp address? Anyway, peeking in the wind screen on Main at Dallas
  13. I went for a little stumble today that turned into a stroll.... I swung by 4 construction projects- Sky House was the last. Corner of Leeland and Main, note facade up two floors, they'll do something different above that.
  14. 1) any idea for a time table on this? 2) I would put retail on the bottom floor, on Travis St I walked around downtown tonight. I visited Frank's pizzeria (mmmmmmmm) after stopping y the Red Cat to see a dear friend perform. Frank's was busy, even at midnight., so retail would work here
  15. that's about what time Calvin B showed up at work today... maybe the 'copters were sniffing the weed scent... LOL
  16. I think I'm going to have to start taking my 'puter to work every day so I can post updates... can't figure out how to post Flikr photos to a web page on the android phone
  17. Crane is going up.. I'll post a picture later
  18. I'd say the square hole covered with caution tape is a crane pad, as is the hole in the lower right side of the pic. y'all's angle is better than the one I get from the top o the Pavilion's garage
