When I walked by today there was still a segment sitting on the ground

That southwest view is amazing because it puts into view the huge change that the Wolf Point towers (including 150 N Riverside and River Point) have made on that part of town. Truly transformative.

We're counting cherry pickers as cranes now?

Cool to see 110 Wacker sneak into that shot already.

Some thing happened yesterday - workers crowded by the river, fire boat, crane lowering something to the boat ?

I wasn't in bu my co-workers saw it and are curious.

I believe Walsh was doing a mock water rescue as a part of safety week. IIRC, I overheard something to that effect last time I was on-site.

^^^ Yup. Walsh posting nationwide safety drill pics on Instagram all week.

Cheers to all the great pics and angles lately gang....

I thought the gathering was going to be something more exciting when I saw the speakers, mic and camera.... but nah... here is the shot...

I noticed the south side of the Franklin bridge doesn't lift this year. BUZZKILL... Maybe they disabled it somehow due to the remodel to the Art on the Mart installation? anyway, it impacts the majesticness (if that's a word) to the pics from this side.

And I gotta say... that brown sewage color contrast in the spring from the north branch is striking from the east branch fresh blue water... (+ 110 N Wacker Dr update)
