Some of them get paid a lot. I know since I have been involved with certified payrolls in the construction industry.

Yes! That's the side I see most often from the train and those braces make such a positive difference in the look.

More (the remainder?) of the core crane is being taken down now.

Is Comcast still planning to do that skywalk between their two towers?

summersm343 · #**4848** Posted **Nov 5, 2016, 7:36 PM**

^^No. Not sure that was ever legitimately considered.

That is the perfect spot to capture all of Philly's "extra tall" towers.

I wish those utility poles weren't there. They are in the way....Not so

is that an aesthetic thing or is it functional? It looks like it's attached to the outside of the glass?

I was wondering the same. It looks like it sticks out too far to be part of the lantern, but there doesn't seem to be too much construction purpose for it either. I forget where the elevators were supposed to be, so maybe there?

^^^Interesting glass. Depending on the lighting conditions and time of day I've seen it appear dark gray or pale blue or light gray or deep blue.

A few months old but awesome photos nonetheless
