Lookin' good. It will be nice to see the facade continue to go up. I was downtown today because the Ben and Jerry's there was giving out free ice cream. The blue glass already looks beautiful in the sun.

I was going to go down to Ben & Jerry's, but stupidly decide not to. I know they were only giving them out in small cones. but still... IT'S ICECREAM!!!!

the topping out ceremony took place today, and the final height was announced to be 323 feet, so i guess they were able to eke out an additional 8 feet to the spire.

more height is good height.
