Proof Things Are Being Built in Akron
Well, at least the art museum addition, anyway. Photo was snapped this morning, looking west down Market Street from near the intersection of Summit & Market. All in all, progress continues to look steady and interesting.
The portion of the new construction that rests upon the old building, viewed here jutted out from the right side of the roof, clearly covers the right lane of eastbound traffic on Market.
Also, Highland Square is missing a few buildings. In the past few weeks, both the old library and the Sparkle Market building have been razed. Ooohhh, pictures of that destruction this weekend when the family and I attend the "Art in the Square" shindig. Speaking of, hope to see all of you there (corner of Portage and W. Market...probably around noonish?).

I just got back from Oregon/Washington and buildings are going up everywhere! Housing, businesses, everything. Lots of new apartments and condos. My parents both recently bought homes in forested areas, only to see a new neighborhood across the street or in their backyard within months.
It's good to see growth, but it's at the expense of the greenery that makes the west coast famous (and wonderful). They're also buying up people's farms and private property. I had a hard time thinking of growth in Akron. Most of ours is tear down and replace. It will be nice to see more jobs in our area.

I noticed that rubble the other day and figured it was just another wacky 3D installation for the art fair...
