This will be quite a skyline when everything that's under construction and many proposed projects like Buckingham and all the hotels are finished.

Yes... In addition to the 505 between Viridian and Cumberland, the "gap" between (roughly) ATT and Gulch will be filled in by (from l-r) two 34 story towers at old convention center, Bridgestone and the two towers (SoBro and Hines/Hayes) on the other side should be partially visible, the "hotel block" containing Tribrand and Joseph should be visible from top 5-6 floors, most of the JW Marriott, top half of Westin, top quarter of Skyhouse above the Palmer Plaza, and top 10-12 floors (?) of Buckingham above Loews Hotel. So in about 3-4 years?

Now if we could only put some buildings that are taller than the Batman Building around the WES, Beaman, White Castle area.....that'd be pretty sublime.

Stix pix, for those who are curious (i.e. @TNinVB):

[titanhog]

It may be summer before they're done with Styx, at this rate.  Looks cool, though!

^ ^ ^ According to Smeagolsfree, the artist/contractor has run into issues with drilling (I think he said there was more bedrock than had been estimated use below the surface).

Yeah...I can't imagine how deep they have to plant those thing to get them to stand at an angle and not fall over.

I think there were a couple of more poles up today. Seems as if problem solved.

They had put up four more, for a total of 12, by the time I drove through around 4:30.  Long Drilling will get it done.

TEST

 

It's a UP thing! Somewhere between photobucket and UP, the URL gets all messed up. When I plug the pb URL into the 'Insert other media' box' it gets changed when I click on 'post' or 'save'. Or maybe it's a Windows 10 thing.
