The PATH Station Kiosk is coming along smoothly. 1. Sketch of oculus shows that one more rib is left to be installed. 2. First Wing Tip installed. 3. The whole kiosk will look like the pretty color of the West Connector Corridor when done! ;)

I thought that it was already under construction. ;)

Here's how the tower will look when eventually built & completed to it's full planned height. ;)

Once was the world's tallest office building for over 40 years, until the original World Trade Center was built & completed! All other skyscrapers have yet to make that claim! When on September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked and destroyed by hijacked planes (both from Boston while...

One more. Glass installation at South Entrance.

Another pic of 3 WTC's construction. ;)

Here's part of the next planned office tower - 3 WTC, which has been built up to an 8-story temporary stump. Note the part near the the top in black. Looks very reminiscent of the former low-rise buildings of the original WTC! In the bottom 3 pics, concrete core & steel frame begin to rise. ;)

New York & Chicago, for years, as always been running neck & neck. The Willis Tower had trounced over the Twins, then Kuala Lumpur had trounced over the Willis Tower with the Petronas Twin Towers. It'll be interesting to see if Chicago can get back in the thick of it again! ;)

The John Hancock Tower in Boston had one. But after 09-11, it, also, got closed! There WAS talk last year, that it might reopen, but so far, we've heard nothing else on it. Guess the deal fell through and nothing else had materialized. I'm so glad that I DID get the chance to go up there and...

Two more pics of the Oculus! ;)

This is not spam. The admins & mods are ok with it, and that is all that matters. This is a thread in the forum that is meant for those like me, to post and comment, and who are avid fans fond of tall hise-rise skyscrapers, indeed. You might think of it as crap, but I'm sure that others...

Looks like THIS is the actual design of the Tower that the developer is going with. ;)

The steel ribs continue to rise to the middle for the Oculus. ;)

In most cities, I've seen that at the extreme end of the platform where the first car stops. That makes the wall look very tacky!! :mad:

Here's a peek at one of the new PATH Station platforms. Note the very unusual & strange support holders for the third rail. They look very unusual! Never seen that type before. Also, note the artwork on the wall. You'd think that since this is a very newly rebuilt station, that they'd put in...
