If there ever was a "money shot" in this thread, I'd have to say that would be it. Looks like we'll have a digital high definition front row seat for the next several months. Thanks Geekaroo!

SimplyDan up at the 1 Bloor site's got some serious competition.

Not if you work in time for a little break it's not.

Aaaand good night.

Did someone say money shot?

Allllllllll right!

 

[Geekaroo]

Geekaroo please take that shot again but horizontal this time. Will make a great photo of the day.

Sure - next time I catch the crane in that position, I'll run upstairs. - Thanks everyone for the comments!!!

The guy in the crane is going to have an interesting view into all the surrounding offices.

Awesome! I can't wait for that ugly FCP to have some competition!

^Sadly, your assessment of the current state of FCP is correct. I am sure that a lot of the posters at this site remember it when it was new, with its gleaming white marble sides brilliant against the sky. I certainly do. I hope that the announced recladding project brings it back to its former state, with materials that stay white longer than the first time around.

And a lot of said posters remember it when all that quarry-depleting marble was viewed as an all-too-unfortunately-typical Edward Durell Stone kitschscraper gesture and an ominous foretelling of the PoMo excesses of the Trump-ian 1980s...
