Just a quick question after paging through the pics....

I see the crane tower goes through the concrete flooring.  Do they leave those after completion and wall around them, or disassemble them and somehow patch the flooring? 

Sorry, I'm not a construction guy, but I find that fascinating.

They leave a little bit of rebar poking out of the holes and when the tower crane is removed they install more rebar and then add the concrete.

The diaspora mural is really something. From what I could tell this morning, they're almost done with it.

Bimbo and Victor Ash were finishing it up. Precinct 1 Commissioner showed up on his bike said they were going to unveil the 3 new murals inside the Cotton Exchange building during a press conference. The one that might not be finished is the tall one on 1111 Main St. too much rain this week. More murals to come in January.
