Fountains usually reuse their water right? When the river floods the riverwalk during a storm, I can imagine there being some issues.

I haven't been there for a couple years, but isn't a fountain off Wells? and also part of the Vietnam Memorial?

Yes, there are two fountains/water features along the Riverwalk (south bank) in addition to Centennial Fountain on the north. Then there's another fountain one level up at Heald Square, separate from the Vietnam vets one. It ain't Rome, but that area of the city is relatively well-stocked with fountains.

not to get too off topic but kinda wished Chicago had a stronger small to mid fountain game

I think you just invented a brand new urban metric. I like it

Great set HC. This one would be fun to watch if they would just fix the cam

By the time this tower tops out, we'll have had basically a decade of continuous construction at the confluence. 6 new towers, one after another. Pretty cool

Maybe that is the boom headline, with west loop being the subhead

Trimming - note the ends on the horizontal bars - these screw on pieces are to give the bar more grab in the concrete mat - the steel is for tension (pulling)

Wow. Just wow.

That's a crazy amount of rebar.

Also, great work gents!

Great shots, Harry. That elevator core appears to be 10' or so thick at the outer perimeter. Damn.

I have loved watching skyscrapers constructed since i was a little boy. But i must admit looking at Salesforce being developed i have no clue where the structural steel footprint will began looking at the site, can someone point it out. I know it sounds trivial but some of us are not as foundation to roof literate as others.

Concrete trucks have been in and out of there all weekend - I've seen them coming in and out of the entrance off Kinzie St. under the Orleans overpass. Haven't had a chance to look since Thursday, but I think they've done the pour for the base of the elevator core. If someone happens to walk by, perhaps they can let us know if that's true.
