...my artistic take on what Portland will look something like in about 2-3 years. First off this view was from a photo taken by MitchE, who takes some serious good shots. This view has downtown buildings that are already in construction (except for PAW, but we know that is happening) and what they might look like when completed. Say 2009-2010. I've added Cyan and Ladd tower, but still haven't added 100 Columbia.

and here that is:

Next up is downtown P-town 2018 (ver 3). All same buildings as above but a new tallest with a little bit of fine tuning since last post of it. Also included are 13th & Burnside Skylab building, The Manhattan, The "on top of the garage" building a block west of PAW, and the Broadway (please please please build!) : ) And I'm pretty sure that by then there will be quite a bit more infill (esp. in the vicinity of PSU) that isn't represented. Thinking about that sweet pic Dougall posted from Flickr of the crane up at Macy's...All that empty space next to Fox Tower I think needs a building rendered in there! I think I have just the one. :tup: Our to be 3rd tallest!

and number two:

thanks y'all....

Dougall, "Great Googley Moogely" is just a lyric in a Frank Zappa song. ; )
Just like one of his songs is called "The Mudshark."

Hence my handle.....

More renderings to come.....fun stuff.....

Actually, on second look, if somehow the fast food chain Jack in the Box would relocate from San Diego to Portland, they could build my new tallest as their HQ.

Jack rocks.....gets all the babes....they'd follow him here in droves. :haha:
