campanile

i've always liked the building since it was built in 1987 --- the green glass and pink granite brought some color to the skyline --- when the gingko trees that were planted on all sides of the block turned in the fall, it was spectacular --- no more --- last year they cut down most of the gingko and started tearing off the top --- now they're replacing (or covering) the green glass --- the new owners couldn't live until they updated the building, turning it into just another forgettable office building --- as i have observed before, you can't have nothing nice anymore --- gah

now if they'd only redo that birdcage tacked onto metropolis.
