Photos please!

Has the metal canopy gone up yet?

Not sure if much has happened lately, been raining like crazy off and on the last few days.

Im going back down there this afternoon. I will try to take my camera.

Here are some picture of the Braniff Building

Shoot. I did not realize there is a different thread for the braniff building.

[ChaseDweller]

Took this today. They are really going at the demolition now.

[Pete]

These are from today...

Horizontal pieces of metal canopy going up and demo work is really progressing on the old Globe Life building. The last photo shows what's left of the old Kerr Park.

Thanks as always Lazio!

Look at the scale of that thing compared to the workers.

From yesterday:

From two days ago (more on the Braniff Building thread):

The landscape diversification is a big improvement. I don't know if they've removed some of the cedars, but last few times I've gone by I was actually not overwhelmed by the out of place cedars.

By the way, have you guys seen this?

They may have just had all those trees massed there as a hold until they could spread them out on the site.

Judgement is best made at the end of the project. These guys might not be as stupid as accused.

For regular buffoons with no understanding of planning, architecture, and construction, I would agree that they should hold their judgment until the finished product. In hindsight, they were likely anticipating a winter blast at some point even if it was late, that just never came - so the landscaping was all evergreens to begin and they staged the deciduous varieties later just to be safe, not that landscaping sequencing is that important.

My concern is still that cedars in general are more appropriate for rural interstage frontage than downtown, and kinda concedes (or con-cedars?) the point that after they tore those buildings, they realized they needed wind-breaks, massing, etc.

Instead of getting piled on (before anything more is said), I just wanted to pass along the positive compliment on the work that's happened more recently, that is all.

Wow. And you wonder why you have a hard time getting you're point across? Here's a tip, insulting people rarely helps.

[Rover]

Another classic response.

I thought it was hilarious how he told people to hold their judgement until the finished project, when earlier in this thread he was saying how awful this project currently looks. So I guess, he called himself a buffoon with no understanding of planning, architecture, and construction?

Well, at least he's honest.

Well consistency and pointant discussion has never been a strength displayed here by certain folks.

[Spartan]

I'm curious what some of you are smoking. I compliment SR, and the SR goons attack even harder. You folks are trolls, but that's all I'm saying in response.

If you can construe what I said into a pointed attack against someone in particular, good job. You must have graduated from the best troll academy. Sometimes us normal people need to just let things go.. this thread needs a troll warning

Well said. Think if 4+ people are saying it, it might be worth at least meditating on.

Exactly. Self-awareness is a tough one to develop.

Just because someone disagrees with what you say and proves you wrong, that means they're a troll? I guess 90% of this board is trolling then. You tried to act like you were better than people with the "for regular buffoons with no understanding...etc." comment. When earlier in this thread you said:

"Er yeah.... not surprised to see this project looking awful. If the renders had accurately reflected how ugly the landscaping was to be, I can only wonder if those buildings would still be standing and if SR would have compromised and allowed for a deal with some apartment redevelopers." (Post #3284)

So therefore, using your own words, you're a regular buffoon since you didn't wait until the project was finished to form an opinion of how it looked.

You're going to continue to spin this comment just like everything else. Somehow, you will try to prove you were meaning to say something else. Then you'll play the "why does everyone always attack me" card and say the people who call you out on stupid comments work for Sandridge. Same song, different verse.
