yeah -- it's big, but at least it's ugly

Chicago will soon become home to the country's largest building. Plans are going ahead to put up this building ...



2,000 feet tall.

As a comparison, the Empire state building is about 1400 feet. The Freedom Tower will be 1,776 feet tall. The Sears Tower is also about 1400 feet.

Looking at this photo, left is south, and north is right. My friend works in the tall white squarish building to the south of the spire.

When I first saw a photo of the spire I called Crem and said something to the effect of "aren't you just glad that you don't have to look at a 2,000 foot ph _ _ _ ic symbol all day every day"
