O-Town through my Lens
Hey everyone, I will be posting a link to this in the Orlando photo thread as well, but I felt to achieve what I was looking for, I needed to start a new thread. Today, August 16th, 2011 I went around the usual parts of Orlando and tried to take some really good and really random shots of the City Beautiful. I took a no holds barred approach and anything goes, even the ugly. One immediate observation I made is that unlike the mid 2000's when cranes dominated the skyline during the condo boom, Orlando seems to have little to no high rise activity going on. I began to get very upset, started to think maybe Orlando's boom days are over for awhile a la Recession. Then it dawned on me, the new PAC is already going vertical, SunRail is finally on track, the new Amway Center is nearly a year old, and Orlando has a new soccer team squatting at the Citrus Bowl until their MLS ambitions are realized and a new stadium can be built. So while we don't have many new condos going up right now, some major community attributes are in the works or have already been completed. So enjoy fellow CDers, we have a great city out there, feel free to start a discussion or add photos to this thread.
Ready to Roll
Such a wonderful sight to see, construction in full swing at the new PAC
This one won't be here for long
I hope they give this gem the overhaul it deserves when it becomes a SunRail station
A quick stop for lunch, but so many choices...
Ah, this will do
Found $3 worth of quarters in my cup holder and walked away with this
Sadly, it was Gone in 60 Seconds
This sign gives the phrase "Parking in Rear" a new meaning
Thought maybe I could get a few shots of the new fountain, well I guess I did...
Whew it's hot, thank God I'm in my car. Also notice the FM station for those of you who need an alternative to right wing talk radio in O-town
More Growth
Got some water before heading home
Closing time
Thanks for stopping by
