    This is what is really aggravating me. I just don't understand the negativity that seems to be SWIRLING around this forum. It never used to be like this, but posters with opinions slightly too strong for A DISCUSSION BOARD are really bringing this forum down a notch. It's as if one of us that isn't qualified enough on the subject at hand isn't allowed to have an opinion or it has to be stupid. That's called logically projecting. People assume just because others have different opinions, we are either: stupid, wrong, or we just don't get it. Well I'm tired of that crap. On top of that I feel like we have some really well-received TROLLS on this forum that really add nothing to the discussion, but we keep them around anyways.

    Did you take that picture Pete? Beautiful. Driving by downtown yesterday night and it LOOKED BEAUTIFUL! All the lights, people, and just pure vibrancy.

    Pete is in California. Someone sent him the picture to post it.

    Looking at William's video of the Skydance Bridge today, I think they are getting very close to dismantling the cranes on Devon Tower.

    All the steel is up and they are just down to windows... Probably will use the cranes to help with the windows on the backside of the crown, and that will probably be it.

    You know they have to come down soon if they hope to meet their goal of moving some employees in by March.

    That's only 2 weeks away but at the rate they've been going over the past week it's probably more likely to happen than not it would seem.

    The "glassing in" he was talking about was probably where the old construction elevators were located. Also, effectively the floors at the top of the building have been enclosed and they are now just working on the steel crown.

    My image will get lost in traffic due to having originally been posted near the bottom of a page.

    Another accurate "fact". Lol. Of course I live in OKC full time. Need to check your facts better. I do spend some weeks in NYC where I love the urban experience.

    . This assumes YOUR view of urban OKC is the only acceptable view. Other viewpoints are legitimate too. The resistance isn't against urbanization, for sure.

    A couple of screen captures from KFOR's video of today's media tour...

    The first one shows they are starting to take the plywood off the top of the rotunda which will not only throw much more light into the space, it's a sure sign the cranes will be coming down soon.

    They said the first employees are still set to move in sometime in March and everyone will be moved no later than July.

    The second photo shows some of the windows before they are snapped into place (must be the very top floor).
