Nate99 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Swamplot is reporting this was on the demo permit report. Cherry has been gutting the place for at least a month now, I guess it is all a matter of timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniepwils Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yup, got the same note last night, they are boarding up windows on the side that faces Macy's and asking to put people up in the hotel the night before they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Walked by there at lunch today. They are jackhammering like a mofo. You could feel the sidewalk vibrating through your shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't see that happening. That's still too close. Views for this are going to suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_jim Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Definitely a lack of public places to view this and it will still be dark at 6:10 am. I'll be honest I could get a close up view but am declining for general health reasons. I do have a view of the Travis St. urban canyon so I'll probably snap a few pics of the dust up through the dawn light.

Joke Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have zero knowledge of demolition, so apologies if these are dumb questions. I work next door to the Macy's (29th floor of the 1000 Main builiding, right across Lamar). Any chance that I'll be able to go into my office that Sunday morning to watch the demolition? Or will they require evacuation of all the buildings in the 9-block area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's a fair guess they won't allow anyone within a block facing the demo to be able to look outside the glass windows facing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloud713 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) for some reason i could of sworn i read somewhere that an energy company was building a 29ish story tower at that site? dont take it as fact though, i think it was just in the comments of one of the forums i read. i may be getting it confused with a different lot on main street. who knows.
