You know Philadelphia really is its own worst enemy. For example, the "gentleman's agreement," that no building can be taller than William Penn's hat, held us back for decades. We've made some great buildings in the last few years, but because they keep putting a statue of Billy Penn on top of our new “tallest,” the agreement is, actually, still in effect.
I don’t know. I just feel like this inability to move past the gentleman’s agreement plays into the worst elements of defeatism that permeate our city. I'm not sure what the answer is. Maybe putting replicas of One and Two Liberty place, The Mellon Bank Center, Three Logan Square, the FMC Tower, the G. Fred Dibona Building, the W Hotel, and One and Two Commerce Square on top on William Penn's head would send the right message. |

The lantern was lit up green this early morning!

If true we need pics asap

Wow; I drove into the city around 2am this morning and the Comcast Tech lantern looked normal to me; I wonder when they did it? I wonder if its the lantern or the entire spine with the lantern?

I saw it from Comly road from afar where the northeast airport is.

one of the best angels. gives the illusion that all the buildings are tightly knitted together as when you are walking the city blocks, as if one building sits next to the other and so on and so forth... |
Absolutely KILLER shots. This building turned out great. But man, will they ever get all that blue tarp off??? vvvv

I'm just trying to see this green spire now. I really hope it's true they have colored LED's up there but there's no evidence
