Nice photo. It really gives us a unique perspective of downtown.

WOW, thanks for sharing!

Excellent news. Thanks for sharing.

Orlando United seems to have some updated photos of construction for the upcoming I-drive Live project http://www.orlandounited.com/forums/showthread.php?1089-The-Orlando-Eye-and-Madame-Tussauds&p=301437#post301437

Maybe I'm wrong but I could have sworn I read something about art statues or something of the sorts coming to downtown Orlando, and I recall reading that the suntrust lawn is one of the possible locations for this art. If anyone knows more on this feel free to chime in.

Excellent photo Sunshine. Skyhouse looks great in the background.

I am absolutely looking forward to this. It's a win-win for the City of Orlando,

Creative Village set to start construction in 2014. http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/blog/2013/03/creative-village-to-start-construction.html "Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer said infrastructure work will begin this year on the 68-acre redevelopment of the now-demolished Amway Arena and surrounding area — thanks to the signing of a tenant for one of the buildings. Though he declined to name the tenant, Dyer said the deal is pretty much done, but just requires the approval of a board he also declined to name."

This building is the laughing stock of Central Florida. What a joke...

Universal Studios is planning a pedestrian bridge that will sit above Hollywood Way. Unfortunately, tax dollars will be used to fund this project. It is what it is I guess... http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-universal-studios-bridge-20130213,0,2142042.story Update: Here's the image http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/new-sketch.jpg-20130213,0,1722441.photo

Ahh I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

The site contains an actual rendering of "phase III" for the Premium Outlets. Just thought I'd share this information. http://www.hennongroup.com/Portfolio/MasterPlanning/OrlandoPremiumOutletsPhase3/tabid/1134/Default.aspx

Does anyone know when the "pollution" situation will be resolved? I'd like to see this project move forward.
