I found this website...are these pictures the same as ones on this forum--or different ones? Here is the link... Devon Tower Construction Stock Photography - Images | Alonzo Adams Photography

He did post a link to those on the site, but they are just a few of the many pictures posted here.

I wonder what's up at the Devon site this morning. I went by there a little after 10am and I didn't see one single worker out there. It's eerily quiet.

Demo begins behind the Colcord:

Um...It's Cinco De Mayo!

Platemaker, what is going on there, is that where the Colcord Events Center will be, or is it going to be more park like and connect to the Devon plaza park.

[Platemaker]

It will eventually be park area. The construction on Sheridan and the concrete demo behind the Colcord is to connect the Colcord to Trigen at Sheridan and Gaylord. This will allow the removal of air handlers between the Devon site and the Colcord so that the Colcord is still operational and the Devon construction site can expand into that area. There is also considerable demo happening in the basement level of the Colcord... moving boilers, etc. and preparation for the tunnel between the hotel and the parking garage.

The 'connector' between the Colcord and the Devon tower will be at the northwest corner of the hotel.

I guess I didn't realize that it had become a national holiday. Wish someone had told my boss.

Yeah same here.

Actually, they are having a Site Wide Safety Meeting today.

That makes more sense.

I remember fondly all the massive Fourth of July celebrations when I traveled to Mexico...

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's equivalent to our Independence Day.

I think Bradford Pears are incredibly beautiful about three weeks out of the year:1-1/2 weeks when they bloom in the spring, and 1-1/2 weeks when they turn in the fall. Other than that, I think they're sorry, PITA little lollipop trees that obscure building facades, attract too many birds, and tend to be uprooted in windstorms (due to density) and split/deformed mercilessly in ice storms (density, fragility).

NOT a fan.

Completely agree. "lollipop" is a good descriptor. They all seem to grow to the same size/shape and have an ugly, waxy look to the leaves. Beautiful in bloom and ugly the rest of the year.

It's barely even celebrated in Mexico!

Uh oh...somebody is going to sick the Board of Governors on you...

For a second there I thought I was in the "New Topic" thread. Everything on here is about nothing--bickering, Bradford Pears & before we know it Marlon Brando...

And all I asked kinggober was whether or not if he had the same pic (from one of his pics) back when the trees were in full bloom. My bad I guess...

Sorry I never answered you possum. I looked back and don't have any of those trees in bloom.

[jmarkross]

Is this the picture?

[possumfritter]

It's cool...someone found some earlier shots. All is well in Walden.

Okay, okay... Maybe I should have put a smiley face. I knew someone would take personal offense

LOL Cuatro how R things at Studio.................

[CuatrodeMayo]

The doors are still open, so we're in good shape.

[clz46]

anyone have a clue as to what that is on the east side closest to the Colcord. Is that what y'all were talking about the other day ...a walk way from the garage to the Colcord?

[clz46]

My husband told me that it's just more scaffolding. Silly me.

Looks like the south elevator core could go up another floor tomorrow or saturday.
