I think GotitRight was being tongue-in-cheek.

"Pretty gross" - wow. Good thing those other burger places are available to you then, given the ordeal Harvey's has been for you.

Fast food burgers are pretty bad in general. The last time I ate at Harvey's was when I was in university 9 years ago because it was included in my meal plan.

2 years to complete the balcony glass? That seems like a long time. Why would it take that amount of time?

It's been two months and they only have 5-6 rows up on two sides of the tower. These rows aren't even 100% complete on those sides either. I know it's winter but they are moving at a snail's pace.

Those other places you eat burgers at are not any healthier.

I never said anything about health...

Sometimes 'getting it right' takes time. A strange concept in a boom town, I know. Patience and enjoy watching this quality cladding take form.

I noticed they got more glazing up on the east side. (The lower of the pent house levels) and that just happened within the last day or so, so they are still working quickly.

Fair enough. My point is that most of those other places are not far removed from fast food unless one is at a place that doesn't use factory farm meat.

ETA: Sorry everyone for going off topic. Will stop.

Ohh yeah, the balconies are really going to tie this thing together. They look fantastic. But I just noticed, somehow for the first time, the aqua green glazing on the podium glass...not sure that's working here....

Nice stonework on the sidewalk there, though.

Outstanding photos! This building is going to look so slick when those balconies are done.

This is going to look almost exactly like the rendering. Bravo!
