The invitation to bid says that the office building is 7 floors of parking and 7 of office space w/ a mechanical penthouse on top floor. The residential tower is 15 floors.

None that I can share at this point . It does look to be 12 floors, 133' tall and parking garage has some sort of mesh/screen on the Sheldon St. side. I've only seen black and white copies.

Project bids are due 12-15

The Grand Rapids Press had a different rendering in yesterdays edition that was closer to what we had seen before. Not like the disgusting rendering in last weeks paper.

I find the many pedestrians walking down Michigan amusing in the first image.

I know these polls don't mean a whole lot but wzzm 13's website has a poll on wether or not street cars are a good idea for downtown. At 8:30 am the no's are ahead of the yes's by a healthy margin. Go there and vote!!!!!

That was me. There is one coming but it seams to have been delayed. Not sure if there will be two though.

That I am not sure of.

Tower crane should be operating by the first of September!

For spring break we drove to Chicago to get on a flight to Mexico. Saved around $600. That was a lot of Corona.

I am pretty sure that Frontier is big in Des Moines and Omaha with many flights to the west coast.

I was at the Towers Building today and all I can say is thank goodness that thing will be coming down. What a dump!!! I hadn't been in there for around 20 years. Time has taken its toll for sure. Parking structure bid today which includes all of the infrastructure for the Cancer pavillion and medical towers which will be bid at a later date. Construction to start in January!
