This building will always hold a special place in my heart and will continue to be a focal point in the skyline. It may not be the tallest anymore but it will still be an icon of the city.

Nice photo btw.
I'ts too bad they turn off the crown lights at 2:00 AM. I understand the need to conserve energy, but I think this building looks best when it is lit up at night. Since it isn't the tallest anymore it doesn't stand out like it used to during the day. But at night it really stands out because the lighting is so much better than any other building.

Ya, it really stands out because it has the brightest of lights in the night. Now it might look like 1990's for the rest of the night.
No other building will match it's elegance.
Frost will always be the one skyscraper I won't forget watching go up. It was the first that cracked the 500 foot mark and the first major skyscraper that I really got to enjoy and watch go up. Sure there was 300 West Sixth, but Frost especially was a fun one to watch.
