The good news from the same article: Quote:

ok, am i seeing things, or does the rendering in post #1 look like there is a high dive at the top of the tower for u to jump into the pool. It looks like it to me.
|
I thought something was up. I guess it's good news for the guy squatting in the red building to the right of the one I posted above. I saw him sneaking in the last time I walked by there.
|
Hmmmm, not exactly the best news for 375 Fremont, the demand for land at this area of town makes me think someone will come along soon enough and propose something else in its place.
However, good news for 45 Lansing, but I guess the wait continues for now. |
They've begun demolishing the buildings on Fremont Street. Not sure if construction will begin soon, but its definitely a step in the right direction.

They are rather gently dismantling this building:

It was definintely the nicest on the block. They're moving from best to worst on the demo, but I'm not complaining. :) They had all that glass off the first floor by about 2:30, and there was a mini-loader inside ripping it apart. Assuming you took those at lunch, they're actually moving pretty quickly.
I'd like to say this is a great sign, but we all know that demo and site clearing don't necessarily mean piles are going in anytime soon. The guy I asked had no idea when they might start construction. But then, it was a longshot that a random worker from the demo company would know anyway. |
:previous: It might have been nice to save some part of the facade of this building, but I guess we'll go with whatever is planned. I hope that The Californian turns out nicer than the building we're loosing. It will definately be much taller, at least.

Very nice shots there Dave, I wish I could have seen that in person. I especially like the first photo. The movie Transformers was the first thing that came to my mind :).

I hope the operator of this machine appreciates his job... :)

From way over on Main:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2254/...b5d62e6f_b.jpg The big cat is way inside the building now and you can just see a small piece of the little guy working above: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2071/...903b9f47_b.jpg Someone's been busy: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2299/...6be60ce8_b.jpg But wait a minute, how did they get that huge thing way up inside the building? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2272/...0e13af70_b.jpg Well, they do have a lot of rubble available, so instant ramp: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2240/...ee6c7091_b.jpg Still some work to do: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2044/...ab23c008_b.jpg San Francisco Auto Body: you're next! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2025/...95f6930d_b.jpg |
