I'm liking the contrast between the dark towers and light and not overly sized podium.

No bulky soul sucking podiums? I'm in!

Staggering that this one has another 84 floors to go. I really appreciate all those individuals who post their photos documenting its construction.

I really like the existing structure. I know it's wishful thinking on my part, but would prefer it remain, but alas, progress...
