Funny you mention that. I was riding on the boardwalk and spotted the first panel of glass on the south side tonight. Didn't get a picture but I will try tomorrow.

I'm on my bike today. I'll stop by this evening and get a picture or two.

That's a pretty wild phone/camera effect you have there. For a minute I was like, wow, wavy glass, then I noticed jersey barriers, fences and everything was wavy...nevertheless, the glass is going up, good.

wondertwinalpha · #**2250** Posted **Jul 7, 2015, 5:54 PM**

It was doing the wave.

That glass is kick-ass! Thanks for posting it!
(Yea, at first it made me sea sick..

But it looks great!)

I just had a vision: Are we gonna see ourselves driving on I-76? Because of the reflected glass? I'm sure it's up too high for us to see...

Plokoon11 · #**2252** Posted **Jul 7, 2015, 8:13 PM**

That glass is beautiful! I had no idea of the corrugated look it was going to have!

Edit* I'm an idiot, that is all.

When FMC is completed, this shot will make a great study of contrasts - the old and the new.

This picture is better than the one I took, so I'll omit mine.

Having skyscrapers on both sides of the Schuylkill River adds something special to Philadelphia, much in the way New York and Chicago have!!

Has there been any word on the progress or time for opening Cira Green? The park on top of the garage. I heard it would be semi publicly accessible. But the Evo Apt. website says its private. It would be great to see a pic of the top of the garage!

Top of that garage is all green, can see the different elevations of it (when zoned in).

Or maybe it's some sort of optical illusion for taking a pic thru glass.

Man, this thing is growing like a weed !!
