More Davenport Lofts Phase 2 Images

A forklift unloading building materials last week. You can see the plastic sheeting covering the interior courtyard in the lower building.

Similar image, only after the first floor loading dock area has been torn off the back. Try coming home from work and sleeping through the sound of concrete being smashed...

I'm looking forward to the point when I can get inside pictures.

Are there old railroad tracks going down that alley?

Yeah, that's what they are. My dad used to work in that building, and they'd unload train cars right there, and this was in the last 30 years. There used to be tracks all over the place down here, and there are still some on 5th Street too.

I'm curious if they'll remain, or get torn out as a trip hazard or some other stupid liability issue.
