Does anyone know if the statues there actually move?  There is a wheel you can turn but I haven't been able to tell if the statues turn or not.

Yes, I've turned them.

Some skyline shots I took today:

 

 

Sorry for the quality on the last one. Camera phones have their limits.

 

Took a lot more pictures. I might post some later.

Once Bridgestone, JW, & 505 are completed, this will be the best vantage of our fair city. 505 will give us a little taper. I also like that the MCC is in the foreground from this point of view.

Cambria should be noticeable...at least until the Embassy Suites/Curio is completed...and 5th + Broad should be quite prominent as well.

^^It's a shame they haven't taken better care of that area before.

I was there about at 3:00. You beat me to the punch in posting pictures.

Here is a panorama, however.

When is the Bridgestone going to eclipse the Pinnacle

If I understand it correctly, the top floor will be roughly equal in height with Pinnacle, and the decorative fins on top will give it the extra 40-ish feet.

There was little enthusiasm amongst the citizens of the old south for the upkeep of symbols of their oppression by the yankee aggressors.

My family was on both fronts of that war, the Revolutionary war, and the English Civil War. I guess they won and lost. Not sure about the War of 1812 as no research has been done on that one. I guess my ancestors just loved to fight.

I had one relative who fought for both the South and the North.

Ha!  No.  He was a certain Lt. Lippard who served with the Virginia Cavalry (I don't recall which regiment) before being captured at Antietam.  He later reappeared as a soldier for the Union.  First Volunteer Infantry, I think.  I need to dig out my notes sometime and check the details.

Wow!  My great grandfather actually fought for an Indiana regiment at Antietam (lost two fingers on his left hand during the battle).  Was injured during the fight for Bloody Lane.

One of my distant cousins fought for the North....some dude named Ulysses Grant. Whatever happened to him?

That's what most people thought when they saw him, not knowing who he was.
