March 29. Some excitement yesterday when they had Hall's lane closed to excavate that hole that is now surrounded by fence and covered in plywood.

Here's a pic from the ion station today.  By the way, does anyone know if the abandonment of the 18 pine building behind it is connected to this project, or just a coincidence?

2-week photo update. Looks like they're about ready to put the lid on the 2nd floor. Tried to catch the sliver along Hall's lane we can see from this angle:
