Up The Sky Tower
2009-09-15 21:48:00 Up The Sky TowerWikipedia says this: "The Sky Tower is an observation and telecommunications tower located on the corner of Victoria and Federal Streets in the Auckland CBD, Auckland City, New Zealand. It is 328 metres (1,076 ft) tall, as measured from ground level to the top of the mast, making it the tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere, and the 13th tallest member of the World Federation of Great Towers. Due to its shape and height, especially when compared to the next tallest buildings, it has become an iconic structure in Auckland's skyline."<br /></br>I say: "Oooooo it is well high!"

Silence Isn't Golden for the W***** Tower
2009-07-26 22:54:00 (Photo credit: Jeff Reimer | Mode of Expression.) There are bad branding strategies. There are Macy's-mothballs-Marshall-Field- awful branding strategies. And then there's Willis Group's hubris- and hare-brained idea to rename the Sears Tower. What do you get when you glue a new name on an old icon whose existing monicker has worldwide recognition? Judging by local blog discussion, a good laugh--and lots of people who say they just won't bother to say the word W*****....

We're Not Really Going to Call It the 'Willis Tower,' Right?
2009-07-20 14:12:00 Photo credit: Candice C. Cusic/ Chicago Tribune Chicago, I have a question, and if you read the title of this post than you're already well aware of what that question is: If such a creature existed, could a man, like me, successfully mate with a Bigfoot? Okay, that's not really my question. My real question is the one in the title: We Chicagoans are not really going to start calling that big tall building the Willis Tower, right? We can still call it the Sears Tower without fear of being corrected by some jackass tourist, correct? Why do people change the names of beloved architectural structures? This happens all the time with sports arenas, and it's unbelievably annoying. For...

R.I.P. Sears Tower: Saying goodbye
2009-07-16 19:23:00 Got my back dirty lying flat on a Chicago sidewalk for this shot. Well worth it. Courtesy @scottkleinbergToday is a new day in Chicago. The Sears Tower is no more. It's now the Willis Tower.Willis Group, a London-based insurance brokerage, is leasing 140,000 square feet and moving 500 employees to the tower.Not since Macy's came in and took over Marshall Fields has there been a backlash like this in Chicago. On one hand, it's understandable but on the other it's progress. Someday, when one of those glass buildings on Wacker becomes the Scott Kleinberg Chicago Centre, I'll understand the backlash and learn to accept it....

Oriental TV Tower
2009-04-07 07:24:00 One of the tourist spots in Shanghai is called Oriental TV Tower. It looks similar to Macau Tower…and it also offers tourists the view of the whole city. It is located at the tip of Lujiazui in the Pudong district, by the side of Huangpu River, opposite The Bund. When we visited this that time, we didn’t go up the tower already since I urge my friends to just go to Grand Hyatt hotel for the view of the city. I saw there are different observation levels where you can choose to view the city. There is also a revolving restaurant there similar to Singapore’s Prima Tower Revolving Restaurant. At night, this is usually one of the visible sights around the city. We walked along The Bund and see the shiny spectacle of light just across (Oriental TV Tower lit at night). It must be very nice to have dinner at their restaurant. The fee for going up the tower shoot up after Olympics I think. I saw last time it was around 70rmb. If you want a cheaper cost for ...

Int'l Tower Hill: Alaska gold rush
2009-03-24 14:30:00 "After the winter slowdown, we're entering a period of ever-increasing news flow for gold miners; one favorite is Int'l Tower Hill Mines (Vancouver: ITH)," says Brien Lundin in The Gold Newsletter."Interational Tower Hill was a new recommendation only last December, and the share price has almost doubled in value since that recommendation. Yet, I still believe the stock is a buy."Its Livengood operation is a low-grade, bulk-tonnage gold deposit located near Fairbanks, Alaska, that covers 44 square kilometers. A 41,000-meter drilling program in 2008 significantly expanded and upgraded the project’s gold resource."Further, the winter drilling program that’s now underway will almost certainly further increase the latest resource. And unlike some projects, we won’t have to wait too long for those results."ITH expects assays during the second quarter of this year, and is planning to provide a new resource estimate by the t...

VPOD: Leaning Tower of Lilli
2009-03-03 16:27:00 Snow days! I never thought I'd say this but I miss 'em. Yesterday, my sister's kids were off school and my daughter had a snow day from work due to that nasty blizzard that struck the east coast. And while we don't get any snow days here in LA, that doesn't mean we all don't need them.I mean, aren't they a perfect break from our busy, stressed-out lives? You can't go anywhere and a snowy silence reigns. And as you stare out the window, cuddled beneath a cozy blanket and sipping a cup of steaming cocoa, you get to thinking how every single one of those millions of falling snowflakes are unique. And how you are too.And that sure makes it hard to get out bed the next morning and get dressed in something that had a huge production run, doesn't it? I mean, how unique can you feel when you know there are 100,000 of your dresses walking around. No, when you feel unique, you want to dress uniquely. And there's no better way to do that than with vintage.Take today's VPOD for in...
