What is that bridge looking thing?  I mean, obviously it's a bridge... but it runs into the building.  What's the deal?  Is it purely pedestrian?  If so, why this location?  Anyone know the story?
Its not purely pedestrian.  Take a look at the big beams running parallel between 670 and the Longlines building - the new configuration will have a road connection between this bridge and the new Oak St. bridge.

I'm hoping that it means they are going to implode the AT&T building.  It is the most hideous building in DT and it is what I see everyday from my building.

Great pics - and the Plaza looks great as always.  I guess I missed seeing that new bluish condo building (glass) on the north side of the Plaza, but what's with all the grass surrounding it?  Was something torn down?  I don't remember the empty space there before.

that's the new 4646 broadway "tower". i'm assuming all that extra space is part of the property, but it is quite a waste of prime real estate.

Can you guys who look at my photos please send me like twenty bucks per person? PM me and I'll reply with my mailing address. I ask because I'm poor but I want to go up in the helicopter again sometime this coming winter. I need to do it again because looking back at all these aerials I did, they seem kind of bland. Next time I'll be hunting specifically for impressive vantage point aerials.

I estimate I'll need $375 to secure a helicopter for the needed hour and a half. So I need about thirty people to each send me twenty dollars. Thanks.

I LOVE these pictures.  I keep this site on my desktop, and I take a look when I'm feeling homesick!  Thanks for posting these! :D

Hey I rather like Toss' photos. We all have our ways of taking pictures. Lay off of him.
