To deviate briefly, Nordsrom's final design release will IMO only disappoint to the measure that the viewer's opinion has already been formulated from secondhand descriptions and his mind refuses to be changed.

In other words, if green and curvy--as 225's final look has been loosely described and construed by a few not exactly in the loop--reminds the viewer of a lasagna noodle with guacamole added for coloring, and that somehow forces an extrapolation to an envisioned final product, it IMO figures that the extrapolator won't like what he sees even before he sees it.

But color me 110% certain that the whole Landmarks Committee will greenlight this, as NYGuy's more detailed explanations of the convoluted processes involved bear out. I for one don't see how the dimensions of this structure interfere in any way with the one they're looking to protect. And it's not as if we're dealing with a Sauron's army of NIMBY's either, thank God...at least those at the mid-to-bottom level chain of command.
What's more, Amanda Burden and her bean-counters have kept a profile bordering flatline.
