The Big Apple,

That pic in post #4 is BAD-ASS! I meant to say that earlier but didn't, and I'm saying it again. It is BAD ASS!

I kinda wish they'd settled on a higher floor count rather than 64 floors at 841 feet. I know they lowered the total height because US Steel and the other parties involved didn't want to engage in a pissing contest with New York and Chicago. At the time, New York was building the Twin Towers, and the Sears Tower was in the planning stages I believe...
