It looks great lit up at night, but during the day it looks horrible.

Old? It was built in 1994. By your standards of old I'm ancient! It was a parking lot before the Ballroom was built in 1994.

Not as a hymn but the tune does fit under the Toccata from Widor's 5th Symphony. Don't ask me how I know that.

You dork! Hahaha

Hey, I named 55 West....

I believe we have that base of citizens. The people I grew up with have moved back in droves and are supporting and creating a vibrant arts/music scene and culinary life. We are a vibrant and divers city and its happening before our eyes. We just need to wake up and realize what's going on and capitalize on it. We may not be a traditional city, but lets be honest, what could be more "Orlando" than that?

Yea, any hope now would be residential. At least the city is becoming dense.

Hell, my art collection rivals OMA. I was walking my dog one day, saw an estate sale, walked in and the auctioneers had no clue what they were dealing with. The house was pure white with every inch of every wall covered in art from local (Moffet) and international artists. They were selling things for $5! The frames alone were at least over $100. I walked out with a fortune of art. Add on top of that my collection of abstracts used as collateral to a famous NYC physiatrist and other personal possessions and I could set up my own exhibit.

A friend of mine that works for JetBlue corporate said it is going through, but yes there are legal hurdles and monopoly issues to tackle. Orlando will be the JetBlue hub along with Fort Lauderdale. Which would explain why flights are being moved from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando.

Yea, this is true. It was over 600' and it reignited the discussion about the absurd FAA height limit in Orlando since the proposed building was not in any flight path.

HA! I remember people threatening to fly planes through it. Granted this was pre 9/11.

Community...

You could read the article.... Just sayin'. ;-)

Let's at least let it get finished before casting doubt.

Well this aged well. "Some women age like fine wine, others like MILK."
