Thankfully we have Dustin and can still see the original core (not incl. ex-trump etc.). Great angle.
RBC: I forget the age of this Canadian icon (nearly 40years?) but I never wished for RBC to be taller.... the over the top use of 2500 ounces of gold in the glazing (time to salvage that), the angles, the triangular floorplate and the once breath-taking atrium were unique in the world.
Now that the planet is building 600 to 1000m, it's under 600 foot height is forgettable to height-geeks.
But it still amazes in person after all this time and deserves to be celebrated and enjoyed... guess there's no hall of fame for towers that don't pierce the clouds but this one still stands up as a modern spectacle against anything built since. I bet a few hundred thousand tourists and photographers might agree.
P.S. I'm a fan of the complex ;-)
