It's a little pricey, but we like it there and feel it's worth it. The food is definitely good, service is good too. They don't quite pimp out the view as well as say, the Signature Room in Chicago, but they do a decent job.

My recommendation is to at least check it out, it's pretty posh.

Not sure about that crane, maybe someone else can answer that.

It was for AQ Rittenhouse, a 12 floor apartment building. It has been taken down now.

Damn, that was fast. Any word on when it will open? I'm thinking maybe Monday.

Plokoon11 · #**1727** Posted **Jan 8, 2015, 9:33 PM**

Yeah possibly, but the winter event may post pone that. But realistically speaking...

I would also like to see a webcam or something? Building Philly is on vacation, but he usually brings in the fix (Wow I'm making skyscraper updates seem like drugs or something?!) for us once a week, and sometimes more then that.

Nice pictures. This will be a great race with CITC.

Nice! This looks like it will be clearly visible about street level SOON.

Austinlee · #**1734** Posted **Jan 9, 2015, 11:36 PM**

Whoohoo! It's taller than a Mcdonalds now.

Innsertnamehere · #**1735** Posted **Jan 10, 2015, 12:28 AM**

^now THAT is an important target to reach! (Probably taller than a Target now too..)

Philly Fan · #**1736** Posted **Jan 10, 2015, 12:31 AM**

^^ BUT, does that include the Golden Arches?

joemustardo · #**1737** Posted **Jan 10, 2015, 7:13 PM**

Drove by today and there were construction workers on top of the core. That is dedication considering its 15 degrees (2 degrees with the wind chill)

Nice updates! This construction site looks so neat and organized, it looks like the construction crew is really going to treat this skyscraper like it's their own! Nice job, so far!
