I totally forgot there was going to be signage on that part of the building. I'm pretty happy about this.

Sublime simplicity looks best, sometimes.

It just kinda hit me that this is nearly done. Horrray!

If you take away the lattice element, extend the platform the JW sign is attached to, and add a couple of floors, add on a spire, then at night, it would look like the Fairmont viewed from the east. Width, height, orientation, virtually mirrors, right down to the hallway windows down the center of the building's south end. While I like both buildings, they are going to look very simular, especially at night.

I'm thinking all the drunks downtown will just think they're having double vision.

Well. at least the two hotel buildings are going to be at a right angle to each other and a few blocks apart.

The last letter was installed yesterday on the JW Marriott signage facing Congress. From the webcam:

The signage is now up for the restaurant on the corner of 2nd and Brazos. It's an Italian place called Osteria Pronto.
