Re: Heartwood Preserve (144th Dodge/Pacific)

On the news this morning, they said the largest crane ever used in Nebraska is now at Applied Underwriters. I’ll look for the story in a bit. Here's a badly-framed cell phone pic from behind Millard North showing most of the cranes in the area. You can also see part of it from Harvey Oaks School. I...

Curious... Doesn't help much to have an all conference schedule when they would schedule the two polar opposite teams in the conference location-wise. Coronavirus doesn't care if they're in the same conference. It's okay... we now know that only NON -Conference games can spread Covid-19! :lol:

655 New York Ave, Washington, DC

I was in DC over the weekend, and saw an interesting project that is incorporating existing old buildings into a new development. This was taken at 7th St and New York Ave, facing NW. They moved an 880-ton building 34 ft east to make it abut another building. https://s9.postimg.cc/ej6me457f/IMG_2018...
