It doesn't feel like its almost 700 feet tall yet. Its also hard to believe that it still has 500 feet to go. With all the coverage it seems like its taken forever to build, and that it will spend an eternity being built. Weird...

Cause it's not. It still has about another 120ft before it hits the 700ft mark.

this is what I've been waiting for,
when it gets visible over IBM
so that as you come into the city you get that wonderful distant hazy mirage look

commuting to work early enough to see the sun rise silouetting the cranes will be well worth it for those in the west
let alone when you get to that point of being able to see the sun rising through the grid of columns and floors, while still being miles from the monster
