What do you think it means? And why is that funny?

Excluding buildings in New York and Chicago, CTC is now the third tallest. The only things taller are Salesforce Tower in San Francisco and the Wilshire Grand Tower in Los Angeles.

I was at home depot on Oregon earlier today, and from the south it looks really strange since the cooling tower part and lantern are the same width. I think it's going to look like it's missing the other side when all is said and done. Hopefully the color differences are enough to make it not look so two dimensional (little rectangle on top of big rectangle.)

NEW (or at least To me it is)

A different version of a video we’ve all seen a hundred times over. The details here are more pronounced however!

Video Link


Sorry for the mess-ups above, I was trying to learn how to imbed YouTube videos and the first two attempts came out all wonky like.

Comcast has added a giant thumb drive and walkie talkie, what will be the third giant communication device? Think it looks great!

Wow. The spire really shot up. Do we know for sure that it's topping off next week?

Next week was my guess, but it could be a little after Thanksgiving

The spire isn’t complete. It’s about 44% conplete. The photos TK2001 just posted are a merge of what’s completed and a rendering of the structure yet to be built.

Looks like they lifted another section onto the roof a short while ago.

I never paid attention to the fact that the oft-mentioned utility equipment is right next to a mechanical floor. I suppose that was handy for whatever connections needed to be made.

may have something to do with splitting duties between the hotel and office portions. But if its staying there I can't believe it will remain exposed like that without any sort of architectural shield to obscure it at that location. I don't recall seeing it in any renderings of the finished product.
