I, for one, am glad to see that the most recent wave of super-tall buildings actually look cool (unlike the fugly Sears Tower or WTC).

Wonder if the top floor is residential or viewing. Think the rent could be under 1000.00 a month? Wanna split it Log? =D I miss chicago for it's downtown vibe. NY has one too but it's a different vibe. Chicago's seems more relaxed vs. NY. I need to take a train back up there soon! I liked the screw…err Spire video of the Chicago building.
