With all the apparent land clearing and construction, I wonder if they're getting ready for the massive buidling projecta that are just around the corner. I think the monorail roundhouse will be built to the right from the angle of the first shot. Great pics as usual.

Martinez, interesting… I have always seen it written as two words, but only just noticed (in today's photo) that it appeared to be three words. Looks like somebody didn't quite nail down the details yet, I think!<br /><br />Chuck, I agree, seeing the photo that Ken linked to (on Daveland), the corrected version DOES look a bit weird, even though it is the way I've always spelled it.
