They're working. I can see them everyday from my office. A lot of the work has been replacing the roof with copper. I'll have to pay attention this week and see if I notice anything

Can I ask you how the heavy rail investment RTA is conducting plays into the looming issues of not having enough train cars? it's a positive sign to invest in new track and build new stations but without some influx of funds soon what will it be for?

Very interesting KJP, I'm pleased with this outcome and look forward to see how this progresses. The only concern I have is the impending issues with the blue/green/waterfront line cars. It's frustrating how we inch forward but have so many hurtles to overcome.

I'll be interested to hear what KJP says. This is a step in the right direction as far as location and connectivity to the walkway, etc

Anyone know why American Interiors cleared out the bottom of the IMG building ?

I assume this is the buildout of Ruth Chris Steakhouse

Did anything change from when this was postponed? Or is it more about the construction and not having to eliminate any detail now that we aren't in such a rush?

County Executive Armond Budish has yet to report what he wants to do with the Justice Center, but a representative of the Budish administration and County Council members say spending money on renovations seems foolish. "The thing is falling apart," said council member Michael Gallagher. "I have not heard an argument that makes sense of putting money into the facility. It was built to last, designed to last, but didn't. It is poorly designed and has not lived up to what it was supposed to be."" Shall we have a demo party? :-P

You just threw a fish to a bunch of hungry sharks. [emoji3]

Haha I'm almost positive that's a placeholder

From the Hilton website... Some interesting things here. I will be interested in who the chef will be, but sounds nice!

Slowly coming along:

They have the frame up for the crown on top of the building, if you want to call it that. So now I think we see the final height.

Shut them down now. No excuses. This is ridiculous

Great picture. Would look even better if that bridge was lit up the way it's supposed to be It actually was partially lit but the lights didn't come on until later. I think they are working on the lights during construction of the water taxi stations, Coastal Taco, etc.

Lately there have been several weekends where I wanted a hotel and to the best of my knowledge there's nothing major going on, but all major hotels downtown are booked. I guess that's a good sign!

And a follow up to previous, was at Alley Cat for dinner and the whole east bank was packed and had a great vibe. Lots of boats and activity on the boardwalk. And some BIG money in yachts!

Went to FlipSide for lunch and it was delicious, and got very crowded very quickly! The space is small but nicely laid out. I think it's kinda cool how it's wedged in next to the rapid tracks. Also the outside and the patio aren't totally finished.

Is there any hope for this place? Such a waste

What?! Somebody get a picture ASAP! Haha it didn't even seem close!

Exciting KJP. I really hope it works. This would be huge.

Just wanted to say I was in the State Theater tonight and it looks AMAZING. The paint looks light, bright and refreshed, the gold leaf sparkles, it's really beautiful. They're still finishing up some of the walls but overall it really POPPED. I'll attach a picture of the ceiling but you need to see it for yourself. The detail in the dome is really crisp and clean and the chandelier had some extra sparkle. Great work.

It's a combination of all 3 factors [emoji28]

Time of day was early afternoon or mid morning on Tuesday and they were staying at the Westin

Content Marketing World is in town bringing 3,500 visitors from 50 countries. Just thought I'd mention I've been listening to visitors conversations all day as people arrive. One I'd like to point out is between two young women who arrived from Canada. One took Uber from the airport which was quick and easy and the other took the Rapid. The one who rode the rapid was expressing some pretty strong dissatisfaction with her trip, citing the fact that there were very few others riding which made her uncomfortable (she was comparing her trip to experiences in Chicago DC and New York) and she also mentioned some confusion walking to her hotel from Tower City. Some of this is out of our control but if you see anyone wearing the CMworld badge, help them out! Hopefully we have more positive experiences going forward. On the other hand, everyone seems to love the city overall.
