This construction worker had just climbed out of the crane in the background and was heading to lunch in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Photo taken from city bus stopped at a red light.

The site has been sitting dormant for almost a year now and has become a real eyesore for Queens Plaza aka The Wild West. I can only surmise it's all due to a Stop Work Order (SWO).

Great News!

The seven millionth luxury condo is under construction in River North!

Yay!

I took this candid shot with my iPhone quickly, so the quality isn't great, but the hard hat workers juxtaposed with the wedding duo in the window struck me as funny.

After departing from the DC Superior Courts Jury Duty I'd revisit 505 9th Street for the first time since 22 December 2005 and was happy to see two of the same subjects that I had photograhed at that time

Over water, in mid air, their industry puts us to shame...Spiders Rock !
