I made this all the way back in May 2017. Always wanted to see the "zipper" and lantern change color to look like a lightsaber

If they are adding color to the bacon it will automatically change the skyline, Comcast will be able to match their neighbors when it comes to lighting & imagine the beacon doing a rainbow at night, it's gonna be beautiful

Welcome to Philadelphia Comcast.

Thanks for reminding me I want bacon in the morning!

But seriously, I've seen the testing on Comcast Center since early December, the whole top was crown was being tested in January, the new lights were on yesterday in the warm white color, and tonight it's green. The top of Comcast 1 isn't done and Comcast 2 is also not done, presuming they should have a new set of lights coming.

Very interesting bit of information for any plaintiffs lawyers that might be perusing these forums. Check the google reviews on the apartment complex. Here's one "I'm not here to give it a star rating as I don't live there. However, last night a huge piece of the stone facade came crashing down onto Chancellor Street. It could have easily killed someone. I would expect this is going to be an ongoing issue for the residents and the surrounding neighbors on Walnut, 13th, and Chancellor Streets."

Just wanted to get this up in a screenshot. I'm not a litigious person, but the woman should sue the contractor into oblivion.

I lived here and the place was horribly mismanaged. One of the windows fell out onto my roommates head, we ended up at the ER at 3 in the morning because a glass shard cut him...he's lucky it didn't do much worse. They came in, boarded the window without caulk, and left it there for months. It was fucking February and the place was pretty much unlivable it due to the cold. People got stuck in the elevators regularly. They would come in, cut my walls open to get to the pipes, and just placed the old drywall in its place. Shit, there was a fire there and somebody sadly passed away.

The building itself is beautiful, but it was run into the ground.

Unfortunately, that's just how the lantern looks lit up while there's a lot of sunlight in the sky. Same lighting so far

The lighting is temporary on the Comcast Technology Center

reparcsyks · #**5776** Posted **Feb 9, 2023, 3:37 PM**

Not a fun way to make a lot of money, but she is going to get paid handsomely on the other side of this, based on all of the evidence you all have already uncovered.

mcgrath618 · #**5777** Posted **Feb 9, 2023, 4:08 PM**

Is the building in question on the Historic Register? Probably would make it even worse for the people who approved the shoddy repairs.

Maybe the positive reception will get them to consider it? Or simply keep and mount the color LED bars in there permanently since they work well and are cheap. I'd like the lantern included, but even just the spine looks cool. Guess we'll see.

Plokoon111 · #**5780** Posted **Feb 9, 2023, 4:50 PM**

I mean at least 1 cc is capable of changing colors and is brighter. Maybe someday they will change the blade to be recolorable someday.
