The articulate detail behind every portion of this building always stuns me again and again.

it'll be sad the day when avalon bay tears the spires off, and that won't be that far in the future.

I was there yesterday and that spire was on the ground.
I couldn't stop staring at it, it's so beautiful.
I wanted to go inside Kirikbridge so badly.
Old ladies where driving back and forth on the road. they looked so sad. I'm sure that loads of people are going up there now to get a last look.
I took loads of pictures of what I could. The spire ment a lot to me and your pictures will stand the test of time.

Sara, thanks for the information. What a shame that they are destroying everything. To have such beautiful architecture lying in the dust makes me very sad, indeed.

They arent actually destroying the spires. They are selling them off for a few thousand a piece.

These buildings are so beautiful it's hard to imagine what terrible things that went on inside these walls

Funny and wonderful things went on in there too. It was not unrelenting horror

So, more like a relenting or intermittent horror? ;-)

cool only a few thousand? ima put one in my backyard, which will then cease to be my back yard and will become... my spire. From its peak i shall remain ever vigilant, and justice shall return to the streets of Gotham...
