Those look like cassion markers, I have a feeling the rigs will be back on site any day now...

On another note, Rich Melman, of the Lettuce Entertain You restaurant conglomerate, was being interviewed on WGN yesterday. I didn't catch the entire thing, but he was talking about this project as if he were the developer. Does he have a stake in RP or is he looking to sell steaks from RP? (Pun intended. I'd prefer the latter, seeing as he cranks out some fantastic eateries)

The river walk is where they're going. One is being installed as I type this.

Never seen a sleeve put in with a vibrator before - impressive (and LOUD).
Thx for the heads up.

They were erecting a new fence around the perimeter of the west side of the site when I walked by it this morning. Excavators are also still digging around.

Noticed some excavation today. Dirt is (finally) being moved.

They've planted a few trees today along the river walk area.

Today they finished digging what looks to be a 50 X 20 ft hole on the western part of the site, which they started on Sunday. It might grow again tomorrow.....

But then again, maybe it's just a deep grave that the Rahmaster had dug for the T-R-U-M-P sign......Chicago style......no better way to get rid of something than to bury it underneath a glass, steel, and concrete skyscraper that isn't going anywhere for at least 100 years!
