Saw this on skyscraper, figured i'd add to the collection. T3 cam

The graph is taking every july into account and it looks like the only reason why only the latest july is shown is because its the end point of the data. The graph is very misleading in starting at 285K and making the 10k rise look like an insane spike though.

Today ConAgra foods from Omaha (a fortune 500 company) moved it's HQ to Chicago. Fun fact: Omaha tore down a huge historic warehouse district to keep ConAgra there back in the late 80s. Great investment! And what they replaced it with is an absolute embarrassment. Great legacy they're leaving Omaha.

^^ Pretty sure that crane you're seeing is at HCMC, but I haven't been over there in a few weeks so I might be mistaken.

I worked for Car2go for a bit and they have a system that flags any cars that are parked in the wrong areas and there is a team of drivers whose job it is to move them. The more at risk the car is to getting a ticket or towed the higher the priority. If it does get ticketed or towed tho, the last ac...

Swindler, an unfortunate name for a store owner.

Strib says Alatus plans to submit plans to the city within 60 days.

The "soon this will be just a memory" caption of the picture of the cheapo back parking lot is laughable! And for some reason calling everything condos always irks me. All in all a terrible article. Didn't go96 "gentrify" b96?

Northern Spark is tonight and seems to be a pretty big deal. Maybe they can do some art with the empty tracks

Last night after the Nicollet Mall meeting I was walking over to Mayo Clinic Square to see what else has been done recently in terms of the outside, and I happened to be next to James Corner of James Corner Field Operations. He was talking with some of his colleagues about how clean of a city Minne...

In fairness, we are talking about a 20-story tower in a low-rise neighborhood directly adjacent to a wildlife refuge. I can understand why there might be opposition to that. Its across the street from a 20 storey high rise and the nature center is across the lake, by more high rises. I get the sent...

Reading stuff like this makes you realize things aren't so bad here.

Yeah just biked past for the first time in a while and these buildings really are massive! The renderings didn't do justice to the sheer size of these things

Looks much better now

Wait this is going in the Infinite campus off the Lexington exit? There is so much land there, strange they would build up and not out, but cool regardless!

Yeah parking lot has been and is still open so the work was not for this project.

You day because people don't enjoy their hanging balconies? Say what you want but it's an economical way to give urban life some outdoor space, and a valued amenity. A consolation for people wanting a yard but wanting to live urban. The aesthetic is only marginally obstructive compared to the lifes...

Walk ups on Marquette?? I honestly don't see that as an amenity. And the hanging balconies ugh. I'd be okay if this never happens.

Was there ever a crane there? I thought they were just using a small boom crane.
