A New Tallest Building
CNN reports on a plan to build the tallest building in the nation. It would be in Chicago, home of the country's current tallest skyscraper. Here's a rendering of the design:
According to the article:
The proposed Chicago skyscraper, designed in a twisting shape like an enormous drill bit, is designed by [Santiago Calatrava]
...
The new building would be called the Fordham Spire.
No it won't. I'm from Chicago and I think I know a little bit about the personality of the city. Whatever the building's official name, it is going to be called the "Chicago Screw." Posted by Tom Nugent at July 26, 2005 03:52 PM

Sure...go ahead and make fun of our building...all Seattle can boast is a big hamburger stuck on a spindle that you know will eventually be renamed "The Seattle Space Needle, brought to you by Microsoft"
May Bill Gates one day be your land lord....all will bow to the Master's awesome powers!
