    Whether one agrees w/ the 'crosses' being displayed or not, I don't think the point to them is that they are "exciting". Are you like 10 or something?

    ^^I dont mind The Crosses,but I have had family in from the East Coast who chuckled alittle!I dont know I dont see anything funny about it! but my family members said it just makes visitors think OKC is The Hub for The Bible Belt!

    Turnabout is fair play, the East Coast certainly gives me cause to chuckle at times. My point is that the crosses are not there for 'excitement' / not making a case to display/not-display, this would be the last forum I'd have that discussion in . LOL

    I've reloaded the cam shot 3 times in the last 4 hours and both crane hoists are still in the same place with the cranes in the same position. Is it my luck or have they just not moved any?

    I must just be getting lucky (on the cam shot) cause I've now refreshed it 3 times in the last couple of minutes and seen the hoists moving, lol

    A couple from tonight. It doesn't look like they've installed anymore glass.

    Great pics as usual King. Thanks! These pics are really appreciated, especially by those of us who are watching this project from far away and have never seen the construction site in person.

    Can someone explain the floors branching out from the tower for a couple floors? It can't be the rotunda...

    I think the ones protruding are the normal floors, and the ones below do not stick out in order to accommodate the rotunda.

    They have added more glass on the NE side by the Colcord.

    No, Thunder is referring to the auxillary building north of the Tower. Thunder there are two auxillary buildings, podium, and then a theatre/lecture hall in addition to the tower. Also they are building a meeting space building for the Colcord hotel.

    Man they really seem to have begun the acceleration, and are placing the forms for the eleventh floor!!!! I think it will likely be lucky floor 13 that will break the line on the horizon from our current view.

    Everyday on my way home from work and I make the curve east from southbound Lake Hefner Parkway to eastbound I-44 (near NW 39th), I get a quick glimpse of the skyline just before it disappears behind the Lowe's on May/I-44. You can see the cranes are as high as The Oklahoma Tower...and each day I wonder if that will be the day the Devon Tower breaks the horizon! It's GOT to be soon!

    Kinda funny that you say that cause when I drive eastbound on 39th and go northbound on Hefner Parkway, there's a glimpse of the site right there before you merge left to go north that you can see the cranes and eventually the tower before it disappears behind that motel on the SE corner of the interchange.

    Does anyone know if those steel/iron holding the glass panes is rust resistant? The other day I noticed how horrible the rust is on the Chase tower. Hope Devon pay extra to keep it neat. Mom's toolbox in back of her truck still have no rust after many years despite how many people toolbox's is rusted.

    Ahhh... home sweet home. I love it.

    Anyhow, did anyone notice how they took away a section of the 10th floor on the northwest corner? Did something happen?
    Continue the Renaissance!!!
