Nothing special? It's action on a construction site. It's good enough for me!

I know, I should be able to get some good construction pictures as this thing goes up from that spot. My friends family owns the building so we've spent a bunch of time on that roof

Look how this formidable wall gets all up in the Baseball Tavern's grill.

Looks like the garage door to a 1960s Florida ranch home as designed by a colorblind Renaissance harlequin clown.

itchy, lol.

These almost look like panels to test weathering.

They had the ceremonial groundbreaking today for this project that will now be known as The Viridian: http://boston.curbed.com/archives/2...s-fenways-cast-of-construction-characters.php

In case you're wondering, here's an excerpt from the wiki for the color viridian:
Viridian is a blue-green pigment, a hydrated chromium(III) oxide, of medium saturation and relatively dark in value. It is composed more of green than blue. Specifically, it is a dark shade of spring green, the color between green and cyan on the color wheel, or, in paint, a tertiary blue–green color. Viridian takes its name from the Latin viridis, meaning "green".

I like how the "groundbreaking" is ~3 months after actual ground breaking.
 
At the groundbreaking ceremony they said it would be finished in Spring of 2015. Seems like quite a long time for only 18 stories, considering it started back in August.

its weird looking they might have to build it with several elevator shafts which would make it take much longer seeing as the new trend is building those up all the way before starting anything else on the building
