I heard Kate's going to be serving hooter shooters at the new Cowboys while Will stands around, continuing to be inbred.

Parade Marshals, it's got to be.

For the first time in my life I want to go to Cowboys.

If they were made marshalls, the security costs would bankrupt this city.

I thought the parade marshall for this year is Rick Hansen.

a different cityscape than usual - looking back at my place, although I face south and east, the balcony goes around the corner so I can see downtown to the north.


my place, although I face the other way by LUMIN8, on Flickr


It looks impressive to see 4 cranes in one view in this post-boom era, but then we remember one of them is Midtown.

I never noticed the top faux facade (I'm sure there is a proper architectural term) on the old Customs building, now Dialog. The Keynote penthouses must be amazing!

Thanks KW! And thanks for your contributions too!


This is my "real" view looking SSE. The view of downtown is around the corner on the balcony, the rest of the balcony faces south.
