Looks like the bleachers and roof are now all down at LMA also it appears they finally removed the sign out front https://twitter.com/bioreconstruct/status/769909858405584896

That guy on Twitter has some great photos

Just curious but how come the first picture has an arrow pointing to a bridge?

That bridge is temporary for construction purposes.

I could've sworn that bridge has always been there. The pavement looks new looking at it again now that you mention it. Thanks!

Couple of things.

No photos yet but the HISTK playground is gone.

And the PizzeRizzo sign was put up with a nice pun.



It reads The best PIZZA on the PLANET...

No, it is new. Here is a picture from a few days earlier before the bridge structure was moved into place.

Sniff sniff... I know it was naive of me, but I was holding out hope they were possibly not going to get rid of the HISTK playground. I know everyone said it was gone, but I guess I wasn't ready to believe it until it happened. Excuse me while I go have a moment of silence...

I hope they're really retooling that menu with that moniker on the sign

Everytime I see these aerial photo I wonder what about the town hall building, on streets of america, that is preventing it from being demolished. I wonder if it's being used as the construction office or is there utilities distribution inside it that might delay it's demo?

A lot of people have been wondering about that. I have seen speculation that it might have to do with the electrical and other utility stuff inside that is taking longer.

Just to let everyone know what Ops Building two is, it's a building still used by studios cast. There is a handful of offices inside and 3 conference/meeting rooms and a larger break room. They typically use the meeting rooms for new cast hires to teach basic food safety, and four keys classes. It is located between the parking garage and the chiller plant for ready creek along perimeter road. My guess is they are opening up or re doing the meeting rooms. The building is pretty dated.

I have seen a few people confirm that this is the issue.

Wow. And all this accessible to guests for the first time to boot (if you look at walking at least)
