You really got some great pics. Kudos on having friends with nice balconies!

Hmmm. It's St. Patrick's Day. Crown is lit white.... So much for lighting with other colors on holidays.

enragedcamel · #**2444** Posted **Mar 18, 2020, 4:41 AM**

I don't think anyone is in the mood to celebrate... that's probably why.

DavidVistaChino · #**2445** Posted **Mar 18, 2020, 8:10 AM**

Yes.
What’s St Patty’s without the bars?
And they’re not going to be any bars around for a long, long, long time!
You’re more likely to be reincarnated into the Chain Drive, Backstreet or The Crossing in your dreams.

Looking forward to this fading to the background for sure.....

gillynova · #**2450** Posted **Mar 27, 2020, 3:42 PM**

That's awesome! Thanks for the pics

Wow! Living here and only going out to walk my pup around a few blocks I guess I don't look up enough. Love it! Ready to mix it up.

Looks pretty good imo. Better than I expected and much better than the awful parking section. The transparency at night is....not that nice.

I was told that the stainless mesh screen turned out more transparent than the architect anticipated. By quite a bit. A which point nothing could really be done about it.
So the level of transparency we see was not intended, after all.

When you look at the material from close up you can see how that could be true. It looks much higher quality than from a distance.

I like it.

austlar1 · #**2456** Posted **Mar 27, 2020, 10:49 PM**

Was the colorful lighting last night? Not many people are out and about to see it. Hope it continues going forward.

Armybrat · #**2457** Posted **Mar 28, 2020, 1:00 AM**

Looks pretty good.
Now how about a Burnt Orange Bevo logo on the wite background?

hookem · #**2458** Posted **Mar 28, 2020, 3:20 AM**

I’ve always thought if they could spray that mesh with a good reflective paint, it would look much better both during the day and lit up at night.
