This is the Orange Ave facade correct? 

This is right up to Orange. Should have a big impact on the street wall.

LOL!  Yes, wood.  You will, however, be pleasantly surprised if you check out the construction of the Ravaudage 7 story apartment building.  The Sevens was concrete blocks et al.  This thing is concrete prefab walls, facade, etc.  All of these projects should've been built like this project (at Lee & 17/92). 

If anyone happens to go by, snap a photo will ya?  Sorry, I used to have a Photobucket account then it lapsed or something and that was it for posting photos.  Um, wait a second, the UP window says "drag files to attach or choose files".  Is that all you have to do to attach a photo?

Yup.  It uploads the photos to the UP server. You don't need a host.  Although, technically, there may be something in the TOS that you clicked on when you created the account waiving your rights to any image you post. (haven't checked, don't care)

This is a great photo sharing/uploading site if for some reason you cannot hot link a pic.

No account even needed. Just open the page, upload the pic from your computer then copy paste the new URL it assigns into whichever forum you are on...

Quick and easy.

Rumor has it the "Tower of Terror", aka Lucerne Towers has secured financing to completely remodel the building.

Oh I am long gone from that place. When you have power bills over $400 in the summer, black mold, flooding, etc... you run far far away.

This is exciting, downtown is changing for the better once more

Sorry, no photo, but you can see this building very clearly from 408.  Wow.  It looks like it is topped off already or close to it.

So from the number of doorways on the concrete structure in the background, I guess that wood framed portion in the foreground will be four stories. Guess they don't need steel framing on the bottom floor to support four stories.

[jrs2]

Linearly, the main building in the background, you can see it from the Plaza garage just in front of DPAC.  The rest...Steelhouse II...

This project is one that makes me sad not living down there anymore. What an improvement to that area.
