RUMOR: Dan Gibert to buy One Woodward Avenue

Ooh, how's this gonna look lit up in neon rainbows?

Maybe they can make it pulse-flash like a huge strobe! Windsorites would LOVE that.

Bye-Bye white marble. Too pedestrian for the modern eclectic design palate.

Hope his wife likes the statue. She's going to leave the Spirit without a playmate if she makes Dan take it away.

They do the TOP of the usurper to the ONE Woodward title...the neo-Gothic thing across the street. This is the mini-WTC at the corner, and NO...it doesn't yet get lit up...although the firm that helped animate the RenCen is within it.

I live 1.5 blocks just outside the city...but am at that intersection very, very often at all times of the day and night. LOL...

Cheers

Yeah, right. I have a more modern example, but this was more illustrative.

Pretty cool...was that back when it was the ANR or Gas building?

It looks so LONELY in that skyline...amazing how it has grown over the years...only two major additions really make a difference at that angle.

Still don't see no rainbow...

I'm going to guess that it is the Gas Building with a blue flame on top.

At the Freedom festival , was lit red white, and blue. Christmas, red and green. Pretty much the extent of lights there.
