This makes me wonder if the Riverview will get lighting as well.

some superb photography right there

Cool pics there!

There sure are alot of unfinished interiors, though. I wonder how many of those empty floors are leased and just not moved in yet?

Nice pics. Too bad there were no fireworks.

i would actually be very surprised if it didn't. when they first announced that the riverview would get a matching crown, bronner was quoted as saying that he wanted it to look like a 'renaissance complex' (with rsa tower and riverview) coming around the corner on I-10 east. that guy likes the aesthetics and 'wow' factor of these projects as much as we do on this site. the lighting on the riverview might be different, or even *gasp* better than the rsa tower, so as to make up for the fact that rsa dwarfs it. who knows. what i think we should do is beat up monty in the schoolyard and steal his lunch money until he tells us, because i know that guy knows...

Im with you sahara

You neaux he has the inside scoop

Have ya'll ever had a Mobile forum meet-up? It might be fun. I'm going to be in town soon (maybe around the 17th-18th).

It would be a chance for sahara727 to "beat up monty in the schoolyard and steal his lunch money until he tells us, because i know that guy knows..."

Anyway, I can say things in person that I can't in print, 'cause then I can always deny it later.

sahara727 · #**1369** Posted **Jul 8, 2007, 3:00 AM**

sounds like a plan to me. (the meeting part, not the beating up part...)

Well, since Monty can't "say" it in print, we'll await the news!

The other day I saw that you stated more public lighting downtown. Have they said anymore on that matter?

StevenW · #**1375** Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 8:59 AM**

That is one seriously good-looking tower!

sahara727 · #**1376** Posted **Jul 27, 2007, 6:00 AM**

hey monty, my birthday is tomorrow (the 27th), and i'm gonna be causing trouble downtown tomorrow night at assorted watering holes. i was thinking that maybe you could have the rsa tower go crazy for me...just a thought. i won't even ask for anything else...

Exodus · #**1377** Posted **Jul 27, 2007, 9:30 PM**

When is the crown on Riverview supposed to go up ?

Musicisright · #**1378** Posted **Jul 28, 2007, 1:59 AM**

Late July.

Oh wait...

Happy Birthday, sahara! What an awesome birthday present that would be. I got to stay in a suite at the Battle House for my birthday. It was my best birthday ever.
