rode down there today , looks great! .............At alot of different angles , i can t tell which one is tallest.AmSouth or the Riverview. The crown added is supposed to be 150ft. which the Press Register quoted a few months back. News15 had it at 125ft. Skyscraperpage's diagram shows the hotel at 377ft.

...527FT or 502ft ?... I cant see it ?

....So now its finish , Whats next?.... I hope we dont have to wait another 30years. Don t neaux about y'all ,but Im proud when i drive downtown. I hope this new Vision of Mobile is even better than the first!

hey guys, long time no see! i actually haven't gone anywhere, i've been creeping on the forum all along. i just haven't posted in a while. i hate that i'm missing the riverview developments, but i appreciate the photo updates. y'all keep up the good work. i think the crown looks pretty snazzy, and the nighttime lighting will undoubtedly help. if anyone can post some more pics of this or the holiday inn construction, i would be eternally grateful. i'll be back in the mob at the end of february to see all this for myself, but things are looking pretty good. i was in town over christmas, and i was most impressed by all the street-level/lowrise renovation. for example, that ugly building at conti and st. emanuel with the two columns on the corner entrance really blossomed over a period of a few months. being away for a short time, i was amazed at how much has changed! i've never been more proud of my city. again, y'all keep up the good work, especially for those of us who are far away and starved for new info/pictures (and a little homesick).

A gated community fourteen miles south of downtown. Not exactly helping to build density in the older part of town, is it? Oh well. I guess you can't have too many first-class neighborhoods.

This is just a guess, but does it have anything to do with Admiral Semmes?

Are you talking about the leak at government plaza? And next door is the empty lot... could it be news on that?


By the way, Mayor Sam Jones was in the floral parade this year... I made sure to yell "No Mardi Gras park, we don't want it!" He smiled back at me

Must be the new addition to the Radisson Admiral Semmes Hotel? If you can see the leaks how tall must that be?

Yep, gotta be talking about the Admiral Semmes Hotel. I know they were going to add a bunch of rooms and I could not figure where they would fit it in. What part of land do they own? Is it directly behind the hotel?

I saw the crown yesterday on the Riverview and it looks very nice to me.

The Hampton Inn construction is going along rather well it seems. Looks like they are on or close to starting the third floor.

Did anybody with AOL see the article about 12 cruise ports that may be closer to people than Miami? Mobile was listed in the article as one of the twelve. Nothing like more good publicity.
