im very sorry,

i opened them all in picture it, and instead of saving as web ready pic, i put save as,

they were each over 1mb, so i resized them to 250 kb, but instead it stayed the same size and lost quality,

i know what to do now

^ thats funny your always saying bout the traffic, when im around the brickell area i walk around like its all good and i barely see a car around the new developments, maybe cuz theyre not completed yet lol, but i do see alot of trucks and workers

like esp and 4 seasons, i dont see gridlock, yea us1 is always busy, thats because thats us1 lol

much better, thanks.

i like how the sky has that magical blue-green tint like only miami can :)

that's a good angle of one miami you got. it took me a second to figure out which building it is. it looks so much wider in that pic. very interesting.

speaking of one miami, does anyone know anything about how its facade is supposed to look? i read a while back that a bunch of cash was spent to add some really cool, dramatic lighting to the sides of the 2 towers, including lighted constellations. anybody else heard anything about this?

YES DAVE :) , I did hear from Jorge Perez, the developer saying Both Towers were going to be Light up PURPLE and PINK , with a wavey Top Design, We'll soon find out in MAY, 2005 when the Two Towers are supposed to be Completed and Opened. :cheers:

did he happen to mention how it will light up? the renderings show light shooting up from the top of the eastern most tower. is that what we're gonna see? will the sides be lit in any way? i'm really curious about how these towers are gonna show on the skyline, that's why i'm asking this many questions. i guess i'll have to wait til may to find out, though.

you sure about may being the finishing date, chuck? that sounds kinda early considering that they haven't topped out yet. not that i'm complaining, mind you.

DAVE, :) YES to the DATE in MAY, 2005, JORGE PEREZ QUOTE : " BUILD FAST, FINISH FAST " End Quote, He does that with all HIS BUILDINGS, Take a Good look at how Fast the ICON CONDO TOWER on SOUTH BEACH went UP and NOW its almost FINISHED, 40 STORYS and Almost DONE in Less than 2 YEARS !!!, Hes the MAN to GET THE JOB DONE. Him and UGO COLUMBO, Did I spell that right, lol, THEY BOTH must Know Each other well to BUILD TOWERS FAST. :cheers:
