Behold! I finally got to see down in the HUGE hole that will become the Tacoma General emergency room in 2010!
1st up... the render! Finally they put one up
Close up. I guess it's not bad, but considering they tore out a historic church I had much higher hopes...
Behold! Well, the bottom of the hole is as boring as expected, but not knowing what was down there was making me WANT to know.
The base of the crane.
Plastic!
I spy with my little eye Wells Fargo...
...and Chelsea Heights and the Key building. The view is pretty decent up on the roof of the Baker Garage...
I'd gladly pay like $20 to see the view from the top of the crane. I bet you could see the buildings in downtown Seattle!
Notice that shiny, bulbous thing in the support guy near the aft jim? (I hope those are proper terms when referring to cranes... I think they're right for ships).
Anyway, those are mylar balloons that just happened to get caught there. Makes for a neat picture.
