If only we could have figured out that the sole key to reinvigorating midtown was an expensive light show on a pole sooner!

Statements like this are absurd. Which buildings have spires? ESB? Chrysler? BoFA, American International? Times? Thats 5-6 towers, granted high profile, but hardly enough to define a city the size of New York, which is clearly more dominated by boxy buildings. There are a few antennas too on WTC, Bloomberg, and Conde Nasty in the mix too.
