From that angle in the 1st pic you took it looked like another city's downtown! Great work.

Well sooner or later, our downtown will look and feel like a new city!

Agreed!!!! Soon when people come downtown, give us 5 years they wont think we are pathetic.!

[Florida]

Yeah I must say, downtown has definately been a weak spot of ours.

What I dont like is how they bought that pointless electric sign that sits over duval street in front of city hall. Im so glad that when they are paving duval, it is there to tell me that Paving and milling is going on on duval street......

They should buy electric signs and put them at major interesections, to notify us of wrecks.

The sign is not pointless. It serves to notify motorist of parking availability in the Kleman Plaza Parking Garage, as well as an Amber Alert.

Larger versions of this type of electic sign will be going in on I-10 as a part of the widening project... so I'm told.

We do need more of them around town, especially at ther intersection of Apalachee and Magnolia where they keep that Hurricane Countdown Sign in front of the Barnhills Buffet.

[Florida]

Electric signs and more flyovers.

[97preludesh]

Electric signs and more flyovers.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

When will they start???? I heard march....... on the Cap circle thomasville road mega flyover

[Florida]

ive been going there for a year........ It says, section 3 which is the cap circle thomasville flyovers would begin construction september 2005..... wheres the contruction?

[Florida]

There was a reported delay. But if you drive out there you can see survey crews out sometimes.

nice, i emailed Carter Burgess the company associated with the contruction on the moving I-10forward site..... asking them when they would start... so we will see what they say

[cityboy05]

Man all of this sounds really nice. We will get a real urban feel in Tallahassee once we get that done.

I know a guy who is going to be working on the roof of the tennyson starting monday morning. I dont know what he'll be doing, but it is a commercial roofing company he works for. I told him to give me a job or else i would tell his mom what really happen to his car in11th grade, he said he would work on it. What a abadass job that would be.

[Florida]

Yo... ask him if I can get on the roof a take a few pictures.

[csmurphy8885]

trust me... i am bitting on that bit, if i get the job i will sneak u up there, ur cam is so much better than mine

[Florida]

I'm game! You tell me when and I'm up there... I'd actually like to get on top of the Radisson or GA Beele Apartment building for my picture though, because I want the Tennyson to be in it.

[csmurphy8885]

lol... i forget things like that...

[Florida]

You and I both were caught up in the opportunity of being able to hop the Tennyson.

Anyone still trying to guess what the retail and restaurant might be?

I really hope Ruth Cris will be the thing.

[97preludesh]

WHEN WHEN will the developments be done???? I wanna see yellow cabs picking up business travelers downtown with busses crowding the streets, cute chicks running in to grab a starbucks before a meeting.......

[Florida]

Initially the development was on a timeline to be completed by this December, however, it seems that may be pushed as far as January or February.

I'm excited as well. I've noticed they've begun the stucco work on the building and windows are now up to the 10th floor of the building.

It's very exciting watching the Tennyson grow. I think its in such a great location, and thinking back, I never thought it would be as prominent as it is where the old Library used to sit. It didn't seem that Library occupied that much space, and look at what Tennyson has been able to accomplish.

I so hope when Sonny is done with this project that he will do another in the area. The quality of Granger's work is superb from what the eye has seen and I think this community could benifit from a few more projects of this type and scale.

I say the city should allow Granger to purchase the old Floridan Hotel site and build us a new hotel there! Would be great compliment to the Tennyson, and I'm sure a welcome addition to the downtown.

However I may dream, I'm very thankful for what we've got going now. Tallahassee has really taken off in these past few years.
