Don't recall from renderings, but this thing is bound to look cheapo. That green material has been up and exposed since I visited last April. It seems they don't know w.t.f. they need to do next. So they're just slathering stucco (beige or gray) on it in different areas.

Prime should get its crane in a few weeks too. Still have the 2 at one22one. And isn’t there a small one a block south of Charlotte around 15th? Saw it from interstate last time I was up there.

Memphis is a fun place to party but it’s a sad place to live. It has suffered from decades of poor civic and corporate leadership. The potential was there but I fear it is now shrinking. If you’re not growing you’re dying. There were a handful of hopeful projects proposed before COVID but they didn’t make it. Now it appears we’re heading into recession.

What is Centrum tower?

Great pics despite the weather. Ugh! Sorry for the weather. I think this is typically the driest time of the year, but the storms from the gulf and Atlantic have had their way with Tennessee this year. I remember my sophomore year at Vandy was rainy every day till school ended. Awful flooding in TN this year. Some years are just like that. The flip side is we rarely have water shortages like occur in other surrounding states (Looking at you, Georgia). Interestingly, there's a significant difference in rainfall between even Chattanooga (less) and Nashville (more) in any year. That

In passing, it's very reminiscent of the Hawaii state capitol building. I think this one is more attractive.
