Looks like we are getting a new story every week (maybe 7-9 days),
they are moving faster now and are done with the ground levels.

I checked the big tower for two weeks.

We got exactly one new floor every 7 days.
I also talked to a worker two days ago and he told me: "One new floor per week will be the standard".

They should learn to fix a construction camera.

Always the same problem...

^ Meh, I check it pretty regularly. I would say it's been out of commission maybe a week total out of more than a year. That's better than most tech platforms!!!

I check it every day. That aren't technical problems, so it's pretty lame.
A construction company can't fix a camera? There wasn't even a storm.

Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for every construction camera, but they can do a better job and Metropolis has higher standards.

I'm starting to wish that the glass for this one was a bit darker. I drove passed it today ( about an hour ago north bound on the 110) and I like the size of the overall project but the glass looks ssoooooo cheap.

It's a higher quality than Ten50 and some other resent towers I think though.

^^^ That may be the case but higher quality doesn't automatically/always equal better.

Hell Toyota and Honda are considered "better quality cars" but most of their cars look bland and boring.

Metropolis may have higher quality glass but compared to others towers going up, the glass is bland and boring. Especially in Cesar90s photos, the glass actually dates the buildings a bit.

^^^ Actually yeah, you're right. That's exactly what they look like. I mean don't get me wrong, its not bad. I'm just naturally drawn to darker window tint. I'm biased I guess you can say.

Whoa you're on fire, how did you beat me in the number of posts lol i've been here longer lol. Great posts though. Keep it up

The core color of the Metropolis Tower is so ugly, but I doubt that this is the final design.

It should look like this:
