If you live on the north end of Portsmouth, you have probably already noticed the cranes and the first section of the tower, which was installed on Friday. According to an e-mail from the PEDC, the builders needed to wait for some grout to set before installing the next sections, but we can look forward to seeing more of it this coming week.

You can already see it coming across the Sakonnet River Bridge, as well as from Park Ave in Island Park. Tells you just how visible a landmark this is going to be.

Maybe they should name *THIS* for Ann Hutchinson...
