What I saw today - December 18, 2014

Workers were at it again today at the Columbia Plaza project.  Even the cold winds didn't slow them down.

 The section on the left looks to be almost finished. The facade is looking more like the Veterans Memorial Bridge each day.

Meanwhile, in town . . .

 Locust Street, and Eddie Shupp is showing photographs

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know,

And all the people that come and go

Stop and say hello.

 And catty-corner from Shupp's - what's this?

The sidewalk is closed?
