I had to take my wife for cataract surgery to Wills Eye today so guess where I went -- the parking garage roof. You can just ride up there like you own the place -- nothing to stop you and the construction area is cordoned off by Jersey barriers -- there's still parking up there. Anyway the strange looking things visible from the street appear to be a mock up of what the exterior walls will look like, much like they did for Comcast Center. They have started erecting 7 columns, which are anchored into the roof of the garage. It appears they jackhammered out the parking deck over existing columns and connected the new ones to them. 4 have the mold around them, ready for concrete, and 3 are just rebar units. There is also a huge pile of rebar sitting on the deck.
