Way to begin your tenure, cj



I was by the site tonight. The crane is complete and now we can sit back and watch it rise.

Tell me that seeing towers cranes in almost every corner of Center City is not cool?

VZ, it is cool and i cant wait to see this building go up, i like this project for a few reasons but one of the main reasons is because it will help pull the skyline south and thats cool.

jlendo, it may sound easy to you. I'm one of the last dinosaurs that didn't need to use a computer even in college. Actually, at Drexel our class was the contol group for a study to determine if using a computer for writing assignments helped or hurt creativity. So when I was in my senior design group I had to learn the computer fast because everyone else used the computer at least the year before when we wrote our individual senoir design project.

But i will give it a try when I get some time. I'm sure I can figure it out in time.

Your right this is very easy to use. All you do is bring up the page click then click the browse button and find the picture you want to post, then click "Host it" that will take you to a page with many links to your picture. Just copy the one thats says forum then paste it in your text on this site. I just did it for the first time the other day.

Looper121....don't keep us in the dark.....what did you see going on? I drove past it this afternoon (totally out of my way).... but traffic on Broad St was ridiculous and the views were blocked by trucks. I did manage to see some rebar column forms reaching ground level......but that's about it.

Oh, I am in the dark too really. I didn't mean to make it seem like I had any good info. There just seems to be more and more going on everyday. Kinda like Comcast...but without the attention...

Thanks for the pic Palms.

At least your view wasn't blocked by trucks like my drive by was on Friday. Looks like progress there.

Ugh...I hate taking pictures in Center City sometimes simply because the thought of looking like a tourist in MY OWN CITY is one of the most embarrasing thoughts I could have. I was taking pictures one day and stopped in the Bourse for a sandwich, and afterwards I went in one of the shops to look around. The cashier says "Hi sir, where are you from?" and I'm like "...here.." and she goes "Oh." That was incredibly awkward, for both of us I'm sure.



Urgh.

Riding Duck Boats, running up the Art Museum steps, asking directions to 9th and Pass-ee-uhnk - that would make me feel like a tourist.

What I do does not.

Say for instance that you hadn't grown up in Philly, and you wanted to tell somebody how to get to Pat's and Geno's.....how would pronounce the street that crosses 9th? You know, cause my, uhhh, friend wants to know. He picked up quickly on Lankster/Lancaster and Redding/Reading, but this one has escaped him so far.

You guys are pretty self conscious. Who the heck cares if someone thinks you are a tourist, geeze.

edit: FlyersFan, its not like she could have seen you outside taking pictures. Maybe she thought you were cute. Should have gotten her phone #

Paah-shunk.

It's not phonetically correct but it's how the locals pronounce it.

It's OK
