As is, there is a flooding problem at the west end.

What's the giant tower crane in the front yard of the TMC inpatient building? It almost looks like they would be adding on vertically?

They are just finishing up the last parking level and attaching the hangers for the curtain wall on the north side.

Are they trying to shed being public housing and go to market rate?

Hold put on the demolition.

Will cover the value of the building not the replacement cost to rebuild and duplicate an antique building.

The Oak and Rockhill bridges over Brush Creek are good examples of basic concrete bridges with cosmetic upgrades to make them aesthetically pleasing. The steel railings give the impression of graceful suspension bridges.

HKC is trying to rally all troops to save this bldng. Calling on people to contact Lucas, Shields and Bunch.

Union Hill Founders had 21 burst pipes last week flooding things including units to the point people have to move out and parking garages.

There was a group out picketing this site yesterday, decrying "gentrification" and saying they want nothing built here. These look to be very modest units and I would guess not expensive to rent. How can building on a long vacant overgrown lot be gentrification?

Probably exterior fire sprinkler. Union Hill had same problem and they had to put a grate allowing room air into the chase that held the supply pipe.

At least some of the parking is structured so it takes up less footprint. Like to see some more like this with ground level retail right on Burlington. This is certainly a more attractive area to live than the new apartments on the east side of 35/29 stuck between freeway and railroad tracks.

Now I see that the nb 35 is 1 lane from watching the flyover video. It is the Broadway northbound that is 2 lanes that merge into one as it crosses the river. Why have 2 lanes from Broadway at all? Unless it may reduce some back up in rush hour onto surface street.

The 169 northbound as it connects onto the bridge appears to be a fairly severe dog leg. The Broadway ramp onto the bridge merges/yields right past this. What is the speed limit going to be? The northbound 169 exit from 35 looks to be 2 lanes. That will take a lot of carving into the escarpment wher...

And locally sourced. A very high grade almost marble limestone from mines north of Springfield that had been abandoned for half a century recently reopened.

At first I was leery of the giant TV on top, thought it was going to be used for banal advertising. They are using it for artist designed kinetic art that is quite beautiful.

It would be the Hotel Continental at the time the Playboy Bunny club was there. Also note how dainty the AT&T bldng was.

Wow! The Mayors Xmas tree when it was in Gilham Park, the Plaza before the Giralda Tower.

And right at the top of the escalator is the "Picnic" luncheonette. I would love to see some photos of the West Village shops between Halls and the rest of the CC shops.

If they are putting a dental college where the library is now, where is the library moving to?
