5 stories. Still makes me go "whoa" and I see it every day.

This plus his actual disdain for taxpayer funded transportation infrastructure that actively harms functionality.

Winthrop Tower... that's this thread. Tangent moved here. Carry on there.

We got some discussion on this going on here.

Man what a transparently stupid pander.

Amazing post. I love the wealth of knowledge we have here at aB.

Westie, keep your posts on topic. If you're going to reach for examples, find one that's about towers. Not a random word vomit of corporate trivia. #BeBest. This applies across all threads and posts.

First and N First will be unified when GLX is complete.
