Everything seems to come full-circle, eh Gio?

we're short our share of 60's boxes as well. why not tear down some of the 80's glass boxes instead?

As for the AT&T buildiing, could they not just clad the exterior in reflective glass? Think Verizon/Mariott bldg, 555 17th street, 1999...the areas where windows are not present are merely clad in a glass facade...how expensive could it be to turn the AT&T tower into a giant glass cube?

God knows it would look better than it does now. Lighting like on 1999 Broadway would look real sick too....make it change colors...haha.

Isn't that Tulsa tower Anal Robert's "Jesus tower"?

Yeah, as I mentioned, he said he was inspired to build it after he saw a 900 foot tall Jesus. He is either lying, or psychotic or both.

What's funny is that he was too cheap to even build his Jesus tower to scale. He went with 650 instead of 900 feet. N00b.

You know what I think? Some people will say/do anything in GODS name to achieve thier own personal interests!!! One of the main reasons I have almost zero faith in "organized religion" Especially the more "organized" the religion... That's my 2 Cents on it.

Maybe he took too much acid at a MC 900 Ft Jesus concert

They are plugging away hard at that site. I just drove past and the activity is just awesome.

No joke. I keep meaning to take a camera out with me at lunch. Pretty much the whole build site is covered in one kind of machine or another. They're serious about building this thing apparently

Yes, that is another possibility. Maybe someone drugged him as a practical joke and never told him about it? So he really thinks he saw a 900 foot Jesus!
