HEADS UP - Another tower crane is going up on the Michigan Street Development this weekend, 5/19-5/21. It'll be on the west side of the Towers Building.

Awesome shots rleuthueser! How do you get a ride in the cockpit?

There's a green one on I-196 that you can see the driver's cab on the right, that was in the down position as I took this.

[GRDadof3]

Hmmm, let's see. I took this one on June 5th:

and this one on May 20th:

Oh, and civitas took one of the same angle on May 21st just a couple of posts up from here. ^^^

But who's counting.

[GRDadof3]

Cranes, cranes, cranes!! Oh wait, these don't count.
