It makes me incredibly angry and I find it amazing how so few people realize that this is the exact same mistake being made again as the countless pre-war structures that torn down in the 60s to 80s.
It is an iconic tower and a fantastic bold representation of its architectural style and era.
Guaranteed 30 / 40 years from now people will look back and compare it to the bland condo towers being built in its place and wonder how we could let it happen.
