You’re back in NC huh? Hope you had a good stay in SMA! From what I can see it’s an entirely electronic tree….the panels they are attaching have musical notes, angles et al waiting to be turned on.

Given the state of the economy here too, I have to say I’ve been surprised to see so much construction work continuing. I wouldn’t mind the U shape….from a nosy perspective rather than an exhibitionist one!

Gary, saw this puppy on Reforma yesterday.. Are they going to try to get Guiness to certify it as the largest “metal” Xmas tree? OR – are there plans in place to add “foliage”to the framework? Somebody will be very happy if a thunderstorm does NOT occur in the neighborhod!
Cheers!

Supposedly they sold out 222 Reforma pretty quickly, but I have to wonder how quickly the rest are selling. There’s one up toward Versailles and Reforma that is in a U-shape. I can’t imagine buying a condo where my view is straight into someone else’s condo.

But all around Reforma, Cuauhtémoc, and Condesa, there’s a ton of buildings going up, and I guess they’re selling all of them. Amazing given the state of the economy.

Oh wow – I take so long to do blog posts that I only really manage one at a time. Fine, will try for two tonight – maybe it’ll give me another free evening this week!

I’ve posted some more progress photos, which’ll publish on my blog tomorrow I think. I tend to do a load of blog posts at one sitting and then schedule them to go live over the week. But it ain’t finished yet, so you’ll have to wait a while longer for the final result.

You’ve noticed that too! I gotta say though, I wouldn’t mind one of them…

That is a pretty common sentiment in the city!
