Looking great! Not quite "Schofield-scale" :) but a really fantastic looking reproduction of the original facade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I took a ton of pictures on the opening day so if i get some time I will post. The hotel is huge and I was very impressed. All of the staff seemed super excited to be there and very helpful. The sky bar or as it is now called "Bar32" is going to VERY popular and the space is stunning. Cant wait to see the hotel full and busy!

I feel the same. Despite some amazing shots, OVERALL I feel they are very beatable. A lot of the games (even ones they end up winning) have been close and at times GSW looks very disjointed. When they get hot of course they can get HOT but this doesn't seem to be the 'unbeatable' team that it was during the reg season. Of course the media hypes their every win as if it was a miracle performed by the god-like Curry and Thompson. UGH...

Definitely eye catching. I get both sides of the argument about this sign. But it is what it is and it's not going anywhere right now. The fact is no permanent damage has come to the Higbee building and that's what counts. It's being well maintained and being used! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That plywood in the window bothers me more than the sign. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

MLB seems to go to Marriott. NBA goes to the Ritz Carlton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There must be a master plan from Gilbert involving the casino, Tower City, and the Ritz. The Ritz is definitely going to undergo a renovation but I believe all of it will be announced at the same time. Too bad Hard Rock Cafe is leaving as it is a draw but if the overall plan is a win then no major loss. As KJP said, it needs to be replaced with another "draw" to TC. I am getting impatient though... I want to know what Gilbert plans to do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is opening in July, a bit after the hotel. There was a slideshow posted a ways up thread showing hotel progress and there were some pictures.

All I can say is ... At least all of this can be undone. One day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I forgot to post these from Twitter. Can't wait to see in person and hopefully they will adjust the operation in the future to be more convenient. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One annoying thing about movies being filmed downtown is that you never know if something is being done for redevelopment or for the movie! Noticed lots of scaffolding up on the old Huntington building Annex. Is that for the movie? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One more addition to my other pics, thought this was really cool on the Leader Building Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow thanks! Now THAT is a compliment! [emoji846]

I had a very eventful lunch today, I stepped out of my building and met MayDay, then almost immediately after was interviewed by Fox8, AND got to see a scene filmed for Fast 8! Quite an hour :-D Here are some assorted pictures from this beautiful day throughout downtown. Anyone know what this ship is here for? Public Square nearing completion Hilton also nearing completion Activity at the Port (and the new cranes) Fast 8 filming: I decided to get around the closure by heading to Euclid. The closure of Superior really made Euclid feel quite busy this afternoon. Notice all the new trees down Euclid Ave., matching those just planted on E. 9th. Unfortunately some of them already had a couple branches broken off :( but hopefully the Gator bags help them survive and they are maintained. Public Square: Someone already taking occupancy: Encountered more filming at East 6th (now "East 23rd Street")

They seem to have redone the end of Mall C Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow... If GSW and OKC continue like this and the Cavs keep their momentum this is gonna be really interesting. GSW lose game 1 at home! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Noticed today that the Cadillac Ranch patio (except fire pit) has finally been removed. It really shows how WIDE Euclid Ave. gets in that space. I'm shocked that space has sat empty for so long as well as the Bank Nightclub space (that IS closed right? I would hope so). Are those spaces not being leased because they're waiting for the May Co. Project to go forward? Or is that not dependent on the project starting. Just seems like such a prime spot to sit for so long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They already installed that?!? Wow was that fast. I guess we'll find out tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That white fencing is temporary. They are planning to install a monument sign and landscaping in that area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The convention center is connected to the Global Center, Hilton, and Public Hall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Crains article indicated breaking ground by end of year and the only scale back mentioned was 49 floors instead of whatever it had been. 52? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the building on E 9 St pier is a two-story restaurant? I thought it was supposed to be 5-story mixed use condos, office, and retail. The two story restaurant (Nuevo) is what is currently being built. They will next build the larger multi-story building with apartments further south near the rock hall where the skate park used to be.

I remember that article, but I don't think this is part of that. These storefronts are just temporary. Seems like maybe they just want to get rid of the plywood for the RNC. The real overhaul as described in that article doesn't seem to be in the works anytime soon.
