Saddleman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I love it. Now put condos, a hotel, retail, and offices in, and you have some serious vertical mixed use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think it's worth trying, even as a tourist attraction. But Midtown Manhattan is a bad location. at 30-stories, that thing is always going to spend a lot of time in the shadow of other buildings.Now, if they built it on one of the dozens of empty islands in the harbor, that would be cool.

editor Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've been wanting to grow some tropical flowers in my apartment, but don't want to spend a ton of money on equipment. I'm just going to wait until the next sheriff's auction and get all the growing supplies I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
