ESC’s progress ramping up! Torn Asunder!

Outside the former Downtown Plaza, construction of the ESC continues apace, with the underpinnings of the pedestrian walkway up to the plaza level going in on April 11th (as seen from the northwest corner of L Street and 5th streets). And inside, “the bridge” is carefully torn asunder! Here’s a video update of construction progress on the Entertainment and Sports Complex as of April 8th.

Meanwhile, down at the Kimpton…  Whats’ a Kimpton?  A new Midtown eatery?
Why no, that’s the brand name, but not the likely name of the hotel that’s going to be built next to the ESC.
