They are today removing the brick work behind the concrete blocks they removed last week on the top level.  They are also doing some excavation along Grace and 7th st's for the basement.

Coupe, if you remember, will you pull up next week's construction update and post it?  I will have very limited time for the computer while in Richmond?

RSC usually puts it up on Wednesdays.

Eventhough they have not changed the date on the home page, RCS construction update for Oct. 23rd is up.

It show a pile driver on 6th Street, but there is no explanation.  DC thinks it may be for generator or power facilities.

According to on-scene observers, sidewalks along the Broad Street frontage have been completed.

Thank you, Coupe.  If we can do this every week, we'll have a running pictorial commentary rather than just the latest pictures.

New photos showing concrete floor slabs being removed from the Southeast Quardrant (old Thalhimer building) and stripping carpet and enclosing guard rails on the grand staircase in The Carpenter Theatre will be in this week's pix when they are released -- probably tomorrow -- at which time I'll post them here.

OK, here's the latest.  Sorry I don't know how to just post the pictures themselves.  Just click the site below:

I do believe these piles ended up being a bus stop cover base.  Ill take a look tonight.

OK, but I don't want to lose the latest update (when new ones are put up, the old ones come down).

Here it is again for this week:

This doesnt really have to do with the Performing arts center but has to do with the landmark theater. But one of my favorite comedians are coming to the Landmark Theater. He does a bunch of stuff with Larry the Cable Guy. Ron White is coming to the Landmark Theater. If you have seen him before he's the comedian with the beer and the cigar in his hands while telling jokes.
