Penobscot building

[Bham1982]

There's nothing really "wrong" with the Penobscot. I'm in there sometimes, and know some folks involved in ownership and leasing. It has a variety of tenants and is in reasonable shape. It isn't like ownership is running a flophouse or something.

Normal, thriving cities have a variety of building types serving a broad array of tenancies. Not every building downtown has to be a cube farm of mortgage-hawking 20-something bros from Shelby.

Obviously. But the problem most people have is that the Penobscot is arguably the most visible building downtown aside from the Renaissance Center, with the red flashing ball one of the most iconic aspects of the city. The ball has been out of order for a year or more at this point. The building owners are neglecting the lighting, which makes the skyline look crappy.

Interesting to see that you didn't throw a random Trump comment in with your pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-elite post.

Trump is a traitorous, racist, lying, narcissistic, mentally disturbed d-bag with less decorum and self-control than a toddler. Is that sufficiently "pseudo-intellectual" and "pseudo-elite"?

Actually,I think you have a crush on him and are portraying your anger because he rejected you. There has to be some really deep physiological things going on behind all of that.

Yes, the 90% of the planet that hates Trump must do so for "deep psychological things going on" as opposed to the fact that the most powerful position on the planet was just given to a deranged, p-grabbing idiot.

So are you upset because he likes P instead of D ?

P as in not Penobscot.

90% of the planet is a bit of an imaginative stretch.

Oh, thanks for reminding us- Trump and his brain-dead deplorables are virulent homophobes too.

Or more likely it's a gross underestimate. Around 20% of Americans voted for him, and his favorability ratings in most first world countries hover around 5%.

Outside of Russia, Syria, Eastern European Neo Nazis and Middle East terrorist camps, it isn't clear who would support a deranged imbecile controlling nukes and threatening global annihilation.
