No. The red spire was a legitimate photo. There was also a light blue one, and a poorer version in purple.

I even saw a red, white, and blue one posted this AM.

Thanks for the correction.

Still a big disappointment, though.

It really is a shame that they didn't light the spire up tonight.
Oh well.

I will admit, the spire looks great the way it is. I never liked that radome, it was to thick and to me was hideous for the building. Maybe a thinner radome would have been good, but what we have here is excellent.

Whatever the case may be, the fourth of July (Independence Day) comes every year, on the same date. It caught no one by surprise. It was just a dumb idea not to have it lit for the fourth
(especially considering the current lighting scheme of the entire building). It seems every decision they can make regarding this antenna is an unbelievably incompetent one, but this one is
right up there. If it can't be lit for today of all days, why bother.


(On a side note, I saw someone with a huge picture of the Freedom Tower on a t-shirt. I'm gonna walk the streets of Manhattan until I find one.)

I hopped on here expecting a few pages of cool new photos.
But NOPE.
Man...oh....man the PA could F#@& up a 1 float parade, what a bummer not lighting the spire for the 4th.....delay after delay, changed designs, no proper topping out celebration, towers 2&3 on hold....they cant even turn on a friggin light display? Sign of the Times I guess.

The construction workers should be commended for simply placing all that colored plastic wrap on the work lights...at least they gave some thought as to what this building means to some people.

I hope they wrap this up soon....it hurts to check in and watch it's progress on some days.

Let me try this one more time and hopefully I can get an answer
Does ANYONE know when the guy wires for the spire will be installed?

Guys, the spire being in red white and blue was NOT photoshop. It WAS real, it was lit like that at 12:21am on July 2, 2013.

[bigreach]

^^Awesome photos of your trip chi bears, I've seen some bright colors lately, don't know what's real and what's not.

Not exactly sure, but I'd think that they have to wait until the crane is removed first???

[JayPro]

Looks as if they have to finish the work on the telecom rings before the cranes are taken down.

As this buildings outer construction comes to a close, I would like to thank the construction crews who built it, and are so extremely ignored here on this page.

Hey everyone here is a video of me and my wife, and special friends Greg (GFJVIDeoProductions, and Laura (Mooncat711) at Tribute Park here in Rockaway Park Queens.

Welp, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse. What a stupid idea.

I don't think the construction crews are "ignored" on this page. Every photo posted is a testament to their work. These buildings don't build themselves.

Anyway, I'm still looking for my Freedom tee, the one that I saw. Checking the tourist shops, I notice that the models are either too tall or too thin, however you look at it.
But I did run into the 3D puzzle, a companion for my Sears Tower piece. It's not a hundred percent, but close enough that we know what it is...

What's happening on the ring?
They covered it with a blue protection...

I thought that the ring was finished, however it seems that there's still some work on it...

[NYC GUY]

Didn't realize that the base was almost done on the west side. Looking good!
