Great pics - Thanks
Lots of progress, I think I see: 1st pod [south end], beginning of wall stain /paint on the siding parking area behind being created - with maybe some power conduits showing on a narrow boulevard by / between the parking areas? last pod [North end], no siding, but roofing started fencing being installed on the rock faced wall and stair framing beginning to be installed sand! below the wall concrete pads between the pods and wall for? - though I think we saw that in a previous pic
Those with better construction knowledge than me will have a better idea of what this means for project status - but to me, if they open the pods as they are done, the 1st group [south end] will be ready by the end of Nov - but is it fair or even enjoyable to patrons to have construction next door - on the other hand the businesses need to get up and running! Thanks again - Jan 28 to Feb 14 for us

Thanks for the pictures! The first one looks relatively close to completion, to my untrained eye. But I guess they couldn't serve regardless, in the middle of a construction zone..

GaKaye said: I have to agree, Carol. The degree of negativity about this is astounding. Seems to be the direction a lot of posters take with most Sxm undertakings. Remember all the negativity on the causeway project.

When this project was first announced, I thought "Oh, no, say it ain't so". And, there will be some of that funkiness that we'll surely miss. But, I've come (nearly) 180 on this and was hoping that they would be finished before our upcoming trip - in 15 days. Sadly, that doesn't appear likely. Nobody has seen the finished product - just an artist's sketch. But, they will be further back, there will be improved parking, and the structural integrity will be much better in case of another storm.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
