I voted at the central library yesterday and the bridge on 2nd looks like the sun has bleached it white already :p

You know, the last time I was down there (a few weeks back), I thought it seemed to have faded a bit as well.

It looks like a lot of progress in just 2 days. In 2 weeks, they will be working on the 1st setback, and I'm guessing as the floor plate gets smaller the higher they go, we could be seeing 3 floors completed every two weeks, giving this a March 2021 t/o party.

Sprouting up quickly. This glass does look pretty nice and I'm excited to see it on the curved face.

I've been wondering how they will clean windows on that western face. Some guys hanging from a rope with a bucket and a squeegee?? I wouldn't think you could do it the traditional way but who knows.

Any updates on 44 east?

Likely with some articulating crane on the roof to carry a swinging stage. That is pretty much necessary should any glass ever need to be replaced since you can’t really do it from the interior.
