If I had that much cash, I certainly wouldn't spend it on a Euro SS.


I don't know about the euro culture bit, but we sure are able to put up not so tall constructions that are equally monstreous.

It's ugly as hell. Good skycraper.

I liked Peachtree Tower and Bank of America Plaza much more. (too bad I didn't make any pictures of the former)
