Why does it have a converse sign on it?
Yea as of now the view coming in from the north is incredible but there are very short towers on that side, cant wait until it is greatly enhanced. Having that converse sign is such a retro, awesome addition to the area.
The original plan had a Giant T Bag hanging in a notch in the top of the building -- didn't fly with Menino
Rehab was in 1986-1987. The Tea Bags didn't fly with The Future Ambassador / Umbrella Holder to the Holy See or the Turnpike Authority. I forget who shot it down.
When Tower left and before Virgin moved in Virgin did a focus group. I told them it was a Gehry rehab and they almost fainted. They had no idea.
John -- you are of course right -- there was a rework after the departure of Virgin 2005? -- where Gehry had some hand in the matter

No Gehry had the late 80's overall building rehab. I believe some architect drinking his sorrows away with the crap he has to work on to make a living did the rehab from Virgin to Best Buy.
I thought this was the Lovejoy Thread?
