What was the archeological dig about? Did they find anything cool? Glad to see work is finally underway!

Columbus is more DC than Nashville when it comes to infill development.

They've exhumed 40 bodies from the old North Graveyard.

I don't remember it ever having a thread, but it looks like the Hilton to the left was completed in 2022 and is 342'.

The diagrams page says 342'. If you want people to know the real height you should get that updated by providing your source here:

I don't know about any diagrams (I haven't been in that section for years) but the height is 361 feet.

Columbus Underground did another piece on the grave exhumations. Included are some photos of construction.

Could you clarify the discrepancy in the reported height of the Hilton building, and have you considered updating the information on the diagrams page for accuracy by providing your source?

[ColDayMan]

If you're addressing me, the source is the FAA: https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...42145384&row=0

I don't know where the diagram got their intel from.

She’s starting to rise! Cores look to be up to the 5th or 6th floor
