MayDay

Didn't realize just how big this project is - two pics from this week.

More scaffolding going up today.

From Carnegie Avenue from about a week ago.

Done!

Pfft. Amateur crane watchers. :-D "Putting the crane in the out-of-service condition generally includes ensuring that the jib is free to “weather vane” when out of service so that the minimum wind area is presented to the prevailing wind. On luffing jib tower cranes it is also important that the jib is left at the correct out of service radius (specified by the crane manufacturer, which is not always the minimum radius. This will ensure that there is sufficient wind area to enable the crane to “weather vane” http://www.ritchiestraining.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Tower-Crane-Operators-Handbook-LR.pdf The most activity I've seen (including today around noon) was some scaffolding being dropped off - looks like they're setting that up around the existing elevator core.

^My first attached photo (in post #893) is from the Hilton.

A few more shots of the crane in place.

I also added a video to my Instagram feed. :-)

Photos later but mobile crane (the smaller one that builds the tower crane) is set up.

Next week can't come soon enough :-P

Crap, I've seen smaller cranes there for HVAC work but ah well. Sorry folks!

Not able to upload photos at the moment but there's what appears to be a tower crane being assembled on East Sixth Street between Superior and St. Clair.Asked one of the workers and they pointed at the Federal Reserve Bank - rather odd for an existing building, right?

Love the pizza at Crust but it will be odd seeing them set up where my mother in law's calling hours took place. :|

Alright kids, now that everyone got that out of their system, let's get back on topic.

The Monica Potter store at the Arcade is closing tomorrow.

^I'd guess they were working on the new outpost of Hecks.

I agree with the author on quite a few points, especially the placement and functions of the parking garage. My question is what would their firm propose? Unless I'm missing something, the most high profile *built* project in their portfolio is the rework of the Galleria's East Ninth/St. Clair section into Dollar Bank's regional headquarters. The most envelope pushing design I saw on their site was redesigning the top floors of the Tower at Erieview into condos, and even then nothing made me say "wow, waaay better and more creative than SCB". :wtf: http://www.eberhardarchitects.com/

Anyone have the following background and looking for work? Message me and I can send more details.

Great news and love that they're using one of my photos; note the billboard in the pic with one of the Guardians. :-D

I'm guessing that's before Walker and Weeks remodeled the space.

Worked there 20 years ago - first job in downtown Cleveland with an agency specializing in help wanted ads for newspapers :-o . I'm sure the spaces have been redone but the building has a ton of character, lots of light with the large windows and as it was built to hold printing presses, it feels *solid*. The location was mostly a blessing and infrequently a curse - convenient to everything, but getting out during big events could be a headache; of course, this was well before telecommuting was common.
