Looks like it's fake brick, since it's going up in panels (it's likely stained concrete).  That being said, you can't really tell from a distance, and it's starting to look nice.

I wish there were more height to the glazing at the canal level: taller storefront windows make for a more inviting and compelling pedestrian experience.

You know, we can build more towers on the south side of the canal, while the canal can still be lined with a village of shops.

Hey Joey thanks for the info! It seems like it is a prefab deal of some sort. I'm not sure if that's just for the parking structure portion or if it will be for the entire tower.

I don't know if you saw it previously, but the retail portion will consist of 2 1500 sf retail condos in the two central sections fronting the canal Walk. The other 2 will be a storage area and fitness center for residents.

Good idea, I'll do that.. I usually have to split them up and cut and paste anyway.

Fulton Village Phase 2, the new rerouted Louisiana St.




There's Rocketts




Speaking of Rocketts




Imagine what this land will look like.

My first time inside the complex





Libby Hill Park in the distance







From the Intermediate Terminal Dock

From Old Main St.



I love the views from here




Patriotic Richmond


The river from Ash St





Ash St.


Another failed pan (one of at least three from this spot)
Up and down Main St. I figure the best time to get it would be in the early morning daylight. Also this overlooks the site of Echo Harbour.








Southern States from this view that will be blocked.


My first trip to the other end of Peebles St to the Fulton Gas Works.  What can we do with this site?!

[Cadeho]

Dock and Pear











I had seen this and I believe it's in my Rvapics1 set.
I knew there had to be a second one on the other side.








East Main



Rafters!

From Ash St, the rest from the dock






Looking downstream

[TBurban]

I LOVE pictures from this area!  Thanks for the tour, Cam.  Looks like you had a nice time enjoying the gorgeous day


and WOW.  The Lucky Strike Building on Tobacco Row, theyve really started to pick up on the renovations!  Taking out the old, boarded windows was a tremendous improvment itself!

[Cadeho]

Thanks and that's not even the half of it!  I had to quit because well I have 284 more pics from today at the fair. Of course that number will come down once I see how well or bad pics came out. My camera and night shots are not the best combination.

I'll get started on the rest of it... and tomorrow I'll upload last Sunday!

And I took urban's advice and put the whole thread on text file earlier.



I love the angles from 14th St and the view from Mayos Bridge/Island



The same angle as my submission... wow can't hardly see the Capitol anymore!


New islands?



I like this view too


Graffiti anyone?


The lot I think would  be great for a riverfront hotel





Behind it is a boat access which one day I'll walk down to see.



The murals are a bad idea now... unless you paint them on!  they're all faded now.


I never noticed the boat.


Triple Crossing... maybe there can be a restaurant on the triangular lot facing the canal called Triple Crossings?





OMG PEOPLE!
