Don't equate Wedgeguy with those frauds. Wedgeguy was a valued member of this community.

Okay? hahaha

Is this going up? Last time I was in that area they had been digging on that lot...

We need to get in the habit of putting construction pictures on here again

G1S2 - you always have the pix! I was on campus and was going to snap the new tower on Washington but it is still a construction pit as of this past week. Thx

Didn't even realize that it was going up, let alone that it had passed approval. What was the final outcome regarding height?

If I remember correctly, it's gonna wind up being six stories.

Six stories with a step down to 5 on the southern side.

Apologies Grant! I was out and about and forgot to swing back and put my tweet in the forums.

Amazing that know one that lives around here has any updates of pictures...perhaps I'll have to drive and and contribute to the traffic situation in Uptown.

I came out of the Cub a few weeks ago and boy does that Arby's lot look lonely...

Love the last photo. *cough*

Walked down that street many many times.

Took this Saturday. Almost done, looks like they're finishing up the exterior right now. I can see furnishing inside.

I keep being surprised to see it and excited how nicely it fills in the neighborhood.

I talked to the General Manager of the hotel last week. He said opening is scheduled for December 1, although there was a small chance that might be moved back slightly. Rooms can't be booked yet but I'd imagine that will change soon. Living close to the hotel, I'm looking forward to inviting friends and family to stay there. Most of the apartments around Uptown have an apartment or two set aside for guests but the rates are generally $100-150. My understanding is that Moxy will be around the $80-$100 per night and you can the convenience of staying in an actual hotel.
