They started it just over a year ago. I think it is supposed to be done in August. They also tore down a few of the apartment buildings on the south side of University across from the Wilkerson complex to put up a new housing complex that will open in August.

Ive been really tempted to go sneak up on top of that parking garage to snap some pictures while he flies over because the view from my roof is kind of limited by the big trees around us, but getting arrested for trespassing isnt very high on my list of things to do, so i guess i'll just have to wait for it to open up

Got a call from a friend working out at the airport. We've been upgraded to a C-130. I dunno if it's gonna fly over the city, but it's been spraying the airport.

The C-130 is from an ANG unit in Florida, I think they are only up here for a few days to spray the AFB and the city. It's cool to see it low level over I-29 spraying the median, they are haulin for sure. That Skymaster scared the living crap out of me the first time it buzzed my apartment.
