Metro's drive around w/ updated pics

[metro]

Thanks Metro!

Wow, Block 42 is really coming along. And I didn't realize they were already under construction on the Hampton Inn.

your welcome, keep in mind, these photos are about a week old, even more progress has been made on Block 42. they really are on the ball and have sufficient crews. Yeah, I announced I noticed construction started on Hampton Inn last week, they've been moving dirt and working on easements/utilities. I'm surprised the local media still hasn't announced anything, but half the time I notice days before they do anything.

as far as your founders question, now known as 360, it looks pretty sweet. from a distance the windows look more blueish green than anything. but if you're up close, they definitely look an emerald green. I sure hope but doubt they will powerwash the concrete balcony's and other areas. That would sure make a huge difference since the windows look new but the balcony's look old and are stained with mineral build up, etc.

oudirtypop, they are right, the new Pearls is on Classen Blvd, just behind the Belle Isle shopping center. It's in a new office park. There are several threads on this if you want more info.

All, I'll try to take more pics soon!

I drove around again today. I posted just one pic for now, of Red Prime Steakhouse in A.A. and I will post the rest of my downtown drive around tomorrow afternoon:

Well I had a "bike around" today and took a bunch of pics. I posted some in appropriate threads (especially the Hampton Inn Bricktown thread and Tree's butchered in Bricktown thread). I'm also about to create an "unidentified structure in Bricktown thread). These pics here are more miscellaneous so I'm just posting here. I later learned why it is not good to bike several miles when your sick.

Enjoy the pics though!

Was riding the scooter downtown last night and noticed the sky had a cool haze. I snapped this on my phone from Maywood park. I'll try to post more downtown photos soon (I posted a few more in various threads like Banjo Museum and exotic cars in OKC).

Wonder if that haze could possibly be from the fires in California?

According to Mike Morgan, that is the case.

Yes, you are correct about Mike Morgan. It was interesting too when I got off work last night, I looked up at the moon and it was an orange/red color--this was around 8:20 last night--and I thought to myself, 'damn, that's a lot of smoke from California!'.

You should see it here!

Worst I've seen in 19 years.
