As much as some people hate construction, I love seeing cranes downtown.  Look at any pictures of China, or even the UAE, and you’re bound to see cranes building something.  Whether or not they’re appropriately using resources isn’t the point.  The fact is that they’re building – not just resting on history and what-not.

So, seeing this news in today’s PD gets me pretty pumped.  Not only does the name “Jacobs” remind me of a winning baseball team, but it’s a good sign that one of the better busisnessmen in the area thinks building would provide benefit. 

Plus, we could use some buildings that do not have boards on the windows.  That’s always a plus.
