Nice try holding out on us!

In that photo is nice to see that the glass is clearly a different color from Comcast I and also the Liberties. I was getting concerned about the skyline becoming too one-dimensional from a color/material standpoint.

Its like a dark gray which is cool. Iblove how this building plays off elements of the skyline. Like the spire placement of psfs bldg, the triangle decoration of liberties, shape of commerce, comcast's glass.

[QUOTE=gw04;7567974]In case you haven't seen this, I just noticed this video posted by Pietrini and Sons of the core being topped. [Click on picture to see video]

cool video. I wonder how long it takes to pump the concrete from the ground to the top, and if its just one pump at the bottom or one at the bottom and additional pumps along the way as the pipe travels up the core?

Looks like the southwest crane was removed completely today - we're back to three cranes now (NW, NE, core)

Caught a picture of them removing a section of it today. It's the black "a frame" section that you can see against the white of the Mellon building being lowered. This was right at lunchtime, surprised they do that during the day.

An acquisition of Verizon or T-Mobile? With Comcast 3 seemingly in the works, dare we dream of a Comcast 4?

I think a comcast acquisition of Tmobile is a long way off, especially considering they are actively working to compete with Tmobile by next summer.

Keeps moving upward from 9/27 afternoon

My friend forgot his cell phone (again!)
When I dropped it off to him, I said you know what I want in return? I just looked over by the new building....he said yeah, yeah, okay....(Black mail !!)
