I really lucked out today and just happened to be taking a walk through the Schuykill River Park while the C was being hoisted up the building. I don't have time to figure out the pic posting on this site. But if somebody wants me to send the photos to post, let me know.

I know the feeling. I keep trying to post photos and they never go in right. Someone always winds up fixing my screw up. I posted to CITC, 1601 Vine and FMC this morning and none showed up. ARRGGHH!

Elevator, I think you just copied the URL at the top of the page, which won't work.

You have to right-click on the image, and select 'Copy Image Location' or
'Copy Image URL.' Once you have done that, you can post it here with the [IMG][/IMG] wrapped around it.

I just took 10 pictures while I was driving. I will post them shortly. Stay tuned.
It looks amazing!
Here's a teaser for now.

^^Nice Elevator1!

Your photo is so much better! I used my cell phone, and just held it up, and clicked the Hell out of it!



This is a view from the NBC10 Comcast Cam:

The FMC Camera doesn't capture the upper part of the tower. (Which is sad )

Some people might disagree. But I think the FMC signage will become very iconic. Similar to the PSFS sign. It will be a landmark building, for sure.
