^Exactly... however, at the same time I can't shake the fear that we are loosing something very good in the Tallahassee Democrat, the commitment to the local traditions and some of the column writers. I'm most afraid of the potential political influence this new company may have over Tallahassee's population.

Now, you may ask yourself... what would i do with 26 hours a week and nothing to do... I play with the internet... which can be boring. But I have found something more boring... using Paintbrush and my impressionist skills to guestimate the skyline change with the three projects... and this is what i came up with....

Before...

And After....

The skyline was taken from the picture i showed with the cloud over DT... i took out the cloud for TaureanJ... and the colors for the projects came form thier proposals... I wonder how amazing I could be with a decent program.... let me know of any improvs i should painstakingly provide....

LOL! WOW! I like what you've done man... thats awesome... you should try to figure where the Symphony, College Park Condos, the Civic Center's Marriott, and The Village would fit into that picture. I think the Plaza tower should be a smige taller to show it above the High Point Center, but awesome work!!

[csmurphy8885]

i thought so too... i will try and correct it.

[csmurphy8885]

Better?

[Florida]

Its amazing you were able to do all of that with the paint brush... We ought to buy you some imaging software.

[csmurphy8885]

I can see the top of the fine arts building, that kinda helps with the village, and symphony. Where will the Marriot go?

marriott will be in parking lot of civic center... south of plaza tower.

[csmurphy8885]

I will work on those things on thurseday.. i gots to go drink and gamble... my summer vacation lasts for 3 weeks... and i have 2 days off, one bing tomorrow. I think it is possible, i'll use opinions for the hieghts, i am usually to eager to be fair.

[Florida]

Lol... drink and gamble.

Nice picture murphy! I was basically using my imagination but your pic works!

[Florida]

Can you show it from Apalachee Parkway?

[csmurphy8885]

I could try...

[csmurphy8885]

I need a good picture... I haven't got one that would suffice. I can steal it off here, if one is supplied.

[csmurphy8885]

I Tried for the Marriot and the Symphony... these will be harder to adjust, but i think they may be a little off. Marriot could be shorter i think, but its downt htw hill from other projects. Also, i wasnt sure if it was this orientation...

That sure is good for conceptual purposes... where on here would your "Taller than the Capitol Building" go?

[csmurphy8885]

More towards Tennessee to make sure we could stretch across the monroe street ridge....

[csmurphy8885]

Alright... all the projects in one mess-o-paintbrush. Critique....

[cityboy05]

^That's pimp!

[psycuda]

Sweet, plus all of this will be done before step one is done on Gaines St.

[Florida]

exactly..... and by then, the whole vision for that road may have changed.

[csmurphy8885]

lol.. the truth is bold

[csmurphy8885]

I must remember to thank Clearchannel for the free time at work... my latest - inspired by the background photo from the CP site.

skyline will actually look alot different with those new boxes in the sky.

The storm water pond at lake jackson is supposed to be one of a kind. I think it will be awsome for the south side of lake jackson, and the thing sounds like it is going to be a recreation park! Waterfalls and zig zags, jogginf and bike trails. Over a million is already said to be appropriated from various places, and it should be done by Feb. Poor lake jackson. But lafeyette and Bradford dont get much love either.
