NO, the gift is to be able to love exactly what it is you love, regardless of whatever anyone else thinks. But a better gift is to be able to love something you have no clue about. I have yet to see anyone tell me exactly why Foster version of Tower 2 is better. And for good reason. There is hardly anything known about it, no renderings other han the outward appearance. Those are things most reserved for potential tenants, and its probably for good reason that thing couldn't get leased (other than the fact the New York has options). And yet, and
yet, this newer verson may account for the largest single lease signing in WTC history. That speaks more to me than anything any of you critics might have to say about it.

That's supposed to be a stand in for 125 Greenwich.
