i wonder if the loss of parking revenue along 9th ave could become a catalyst for development there. would be nice to see a similar project on the north side of the tracks bt 4th & 5th.

Sorry, it’s an inside joke. Also used to out former skyscraperpage forum members.

Ah okay, I see. With the talk about mansions and stuff I thought maybe you were responding to someone else’s post lol.

You're one of the lucky ones who avoided a decade of that forum. I suppose there were some good times before the decay.

During the boom years it was the place to be. The one thing I miss about the old SSP was the contributions to the Food and Coffee thread. I used to follow recommendations from that thread all the time and there are cafes and restaurants that I still frequent as a result of the recommendations. Alas, I don't think many of the contributors to that thread made the switch.

What's the height of the shorter of these two towers?

121 is the taller, shorter looks to maybe be 10 or more less.

They haven't made the switch because they've either passed away or moved away. The last time someone posted in that thread at SSP was 2017. It's mainly because it was really one guy that drove the thread - Rusty or Furry something and he hasn't been on there for years.

Tough to see with my low quality phone pic, but some decent activity up there this morning. Quite a few workers, inspections and prepping of the rebar happening

 

[Crazyeamon]

Would anyone have any idea who might be the electrical contractors on this? Won't be able to pass by and try to ask until the weekend.

Lot’s of work going on. Literally just drove by on my way to Rodney’s.
