Still hate that only a small portion of 609 Main’s crown is lit instead of the full blade.  Why can’t this city light up its skyline better? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted May 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2021 Talked with a rigger, he said the tower crane coming down sets the section on the patio deck and then the north crane reaches over and sets them on the ground. It also lays them over and loads them on the trailer. He said the north crane will be coming down in a month. When the south crane get as low as possible today and Sunday an AT crane will remove the rest on Monday. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
