Have to love the massive crowds of people waiting for trains.
LOL - Ok you can shoot me now.

Yup. And, that’s probably why there’s no food concession at the station.

But, I’m hoping that the New Year’s Eve party advertised inside will rock. That’s going to be an awesome sound cavern.

Elite…? 
Doesn’t look good to throw this word around and also expect it’s citizens to be thrilled. IMO 
“a group or class of people seen as having the greatest power and influence within a society, especially because of their wealth or privilege.”
In 2 years you still won’t be able to see the Nexus buildings from this view because they’re all 20 stories or less.

Harmless marketing hype. But, RUS has demonstrated its potential as an event space. We’ve already seen that with the new City Council inauguration.

“Garden of Light” in Moore Square last night
Great to see the area so active (the warm weather helped).

Could be a better time of day, day sunrise to get the sun on downtown vs a silhouette but you get an idea of the skyline. The first shot is literally as close to what the intersection of North and East streets would be if they intersected (approx 200’ AGL). If you want a better pic for a calendar, let me know and I’ll wake up earlier for a better shot. 
Wider spot including the northern Capital Blvd area:

A couple of shots from the corner of South and East Streets.
I made sure to actually get the street corner in the shot. 
You can see North Hills poking up from this one.

With the leaves gone, so much more of the city street action is visible. The church in the foreground just looks great. The Shaw campus shows well here - so much potential for that part of downtown.
What a dope shot!
