You need to expand your internet searches beyond Urban Planet, perhaps!

I wish I had a glimpse into the inner thoughts of Alex Palmer as he drove by and saw the crane going up. I go back and forth from feeling sympathy to feeling disdain toward him for not selling that giant pit much sooner.

Especially when he looks out his window and realizes he just cant get the crane up  anymore, as they are erected around the hole that ASP dug.

What in the world? You all can't let Alex Palmer go. What's with the creepy obsession with him and this particular project? The site is under development and you are still obsessive compulsive about it.

[smeagolsfree]

It took him 20 years, of course we cant let it die. We have to haunt him with it for the next 20 years like he did us.

weird to take up for a man who left a huge crater sized hole in the downtown core that sat for years with stagnate water in it...

It's just a running joke.  Obviously nobody has a "creepy obsession" with some obsolete local developer.  What a strange accusation.  Also, I don't think you understand what obsessive compulsive means.

Yep, @tokiorose mentioned it, if I'm not mistaken. His last quite a few bits of info have been bang on, too.

[smeagolsfree]

Four tower cranes and one mobile cranes according to a Turner official on site.

It looks like he's about to drop an f-bomb

BREAKING NEWS Propst development has just announced that they are handing over the Broadwest development back to Alex Palmer. Alex plans to open a waterpark called Lake Palmer instead of the development

How funny would it have been if local environmental activists had been successful in getting Lake Palmer designated as a federally protected wetland?  I'm sure there was a salamander or something living in and around that lake that needed to be saved.

One crane tower.
