I don't know about a print magazine but one of my dogs did end up on KEYE's news last week in a similar shot. You can see her in the thumbnail for the video, lower right corner.

As for the blurry photo, it's not easy to get three excited dogs in the same shot with a cell phone camera.

Oh I know! It wasn't a knock at you at all. Your photos are among the ones I enjoy the most when they're posted because they're generally of the best quality. That particular photo, though, is blurry (for a good reason, of course).

Thanks, I didn't take it personal. My photos are either taken with my Galaxy S4 with a cheapo point and shoot. Good enough for a web forum but not professional grade by any means. However here's a surprisingly in focus mid air squirrel jump by my youngest dog, Jasper.

I really like how this one turned out, especially the white areas and the balconies. I am no longer a skeptic. I guess sometimes you have to take a wait and see attitude. It has a simple classy look.

Yeah, at first I wasn't really impressed with this one, but this is one of those times when the finishing touches really makes it pop, and makes you understand what they were trying to achieve. My favorite view of it now is from the southeast from along the boardwalk or from I-35. The contrast of the blue glass and the white facade really looks nice from that angle. I need to go downtown again for some photos of the that view.

It sort of reminds me of the coastal residential high rises you find along the gulf coast, especially in Florida.

Definitely turned out better than I was expecting.

You hit it on the nose right there. Completely agree. In the end, this turned out to be a great building with a really clean, immaculate look.

It isn't my favorite, but it certainly isn't the disaster that we all thought it would be about halfway through construction.

First Seaholm move-ins in February, per an update from a couple weeks ago. Boiler Nine supposedly opening just prior to resident move-ins.

Looks like they've torn up all the pavement on Power Plant Drive. I'm not entirely sure why, but I'd be willing to guess they're repaving it to make it more uniform once the whole stretch of road opens.

They also didn't weigh down the barriers and they blew away and now they're blocking half of W 3rd Street.

I saw several recent building permits related to tearing up the area for a waterline or something.

Does anyone know whether that actually happened, and/or what the new schedule is?

Boiler Nine shows no signs of being open in their social media, and their website is just a placeholder.
As far as I could tell by looking online, the first Seaholm Residences closings were on April 1st.
