Oh snap... Just as the finishing touches are being put on the Comcast Center, to sit indefinitely as the king of the Philly skyline, Blam... an international skyscraper orgasm, skeet skeet skeeted all over Philadelphia and Supermaned that ho' (aka, queen in waiting... Comcast.)
The story, broke by Phillyskyline.com, has been the focus of a media whirlwind since reports surfaced late last week of it's enormous size and possible impact for the city. Supported by almost everyone, including Mayor Nutter, it seems the tower represents the huge excitement and kinetic energy pulsing threw Philly these days... I don't know, I just think it's cool.
The details are boring, most details are, but essentially it's a very, very serious proposal. And when completed would be one of the tallest buildings in the world, taller than New York's Empire State Building and Chicago's Sears' Tower... Damn... Although, to be fair, both of those cities have “super skyscrapers” under construction now. ACC Tower would most likely be 3rd tallest in the country and somewhere near the top 10 in the world by it's planned completion in 2012.
That's (not-so) Comcastic! This kind of seems like a little bit of karma for the monopolizing mega-company that offers shitty service and charges way, way too much for cable. Huh.
“This changes everything,” says the tower's official website. I hope so... Go ACC Tower!
