Didn't there used to be a restaurant at the top of the Hyatt? I went to a party there, years ago. Is it not there any more? Can't remember what it was called.

Agreed! This is such an absolutely gorgeous tower! There's just something about it...an understated elegance perhaps...that makes me think that it is going to be a timeless beauty.

Well... maybe Frost goes in that category.

fully agreed, IMO Frost is still the best looking tower Austin has.

I believe that the Austonian will be up there with Frost as well once it is done and lit.

I don't know why, but I find Monarch to be what I like the best. 360 is probably my second most favorite.

I'm not sure why, but that restaurant was closed several years ago. It was called The Foothills.

Those are fantastic, Mike. Glad your laptop is working again.

priller · #74 Posted **Jan 21, 2009, 4:27 AM**

Some pictures from 1/18/09. They are now up to the crown.

LoneStarMike · #75 Posted **Jan 22, 2009, 6:51 AM**

I love that view from the Amtrak Station.

Here's a few from a couple of different places on S. Lamar from January 20.

LoneStarMike · #76 Posted **Jan 26, 2009, 9:03 AM**

One photo from Janaury 25. You can also see the Gables project on the left underneath the bridge.

Complex01 · #77 Posted **Jan 26, 2009, 6:43 PM**

Wow i really like that last picture. It looks really kewl. Very nice job. Spring just looks awesome...

LoneStarMike · #78 Posted **Jan 29, 2009, 2:45 PM**

Thanks. Here's a couple more from the old Whole Foods Garage from January 28.

LoneStarMike · #79 Posted **Feb 5, 2009, 10:51 AM**

A couple of night shots from February 3.

Dude! The Monarch has done so much good for our skyline. I'm hoping they don't skimp on the lighting design for Spring either. Beautiful photos, Mike! I have a new desktop background now.
