necromantical

hmm ok, still does't make any sense.

I'll make sure I Photoshop the Jenga of Terror out, just for you. out or in? what are you talking about?

lol...i hope you guys aren't serious, i look forward to seeing some pics of the new louisville skyline in the urbanohio "other" section ;)

sorry, but uhhh it would be: that is a grown woman lol, i wouldn't call it nit picking, even the guy before you said it was a woman....but then again, i don't know too many boys named Janet lol

oh...i forgot...."LOL"...but ummmm, thats not a kid...that a grown woman... :clap: so, i suppose neither of you guys will go to louisville to get a peak at MP when it is finished??

If people visit louisville just to see a giant christmas tree, i think they will go to see MP.... Janet Runner, of Sandusky, Ohio, took a photo of the tree moving into place with her camera phone. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061114/NEWS01/61114016

well...i didn't compare the buildings....just showing how directly after 9-11 when security was at its highest, the attendance of the ESB increased. So, i don't see how security in Louisville, which isn't anywhere near that high, will stop people from going into the plaza.

maybe they just saw it while driving down the interstate and decided to check it out lol...... :?...but speaking of tourist, just today it was announced that the Ali Center in Louisville has been honored with the 5-Star Award for Best New Attraction by the North American Travel Journalists Association.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...and it doesn't hurt that the Ali Center and MP will be connected :)

Yep, i know. But high security won't stop people from going to observatory decks, regardless the city.

of course there will be security..its a 300+ million dollar skyscraper, the owners will want to protect their investment. But the fact that the Ali center is right next door and that the elevator is connected directly to main st. leads me to beleive attendence will be great. Even with the 9-11 attacks, attendance at the Empire State Building observatory deck has only increased. So, i think people will be going in great numbers to the museum and public plaza in MP. but on a side note....i can remember going to the observatory deck on the Carew Tower in cincinnati last year , and the only person there was a little lady to take my five dollars lol.....no security..

well it will be on the 22nd floor not the 23rd..oops...and the building is called "museum plaza" lol the public plaza its self will be one acre, so i'm not sure what all will be in it, but the view of the city alone will be well worth the trip up IMO.

But you do have to realize that the 23rd floor of this tower will basically be a public plaza...meaning anyone who wants to go up can do so....free....you have to pay to go up in many skyscrapers. like jeff said, the elevator is connected straight to main street, so it will be easily accessible. I don't see any reason why people will not come from all around the world to see this building. the design, may not be liked, but curiosity will draw people. I don't see how anyone in their right minds who love skyscraper, will pass up a chance to come look at this building...even if they are coming to confirm that it is "ugly." but i think the wow factor of seeing it in person, and going up that elevator will change their mind quick.

but you haven't experienced it...thats the point...and i doubt anyone would not want to experience it just because "its ugly"....which is only one opinion of the building. but a picture is one thing, standing next to it when its lit up at night is another.

how about this......build a drum that has never been built before, and get one of the best brightest drum builders to do it. How many drum enthusiast, would pass on a chance to play that drum?

but i still think it will draw people to the city from all around the world. whether or not they come to see it because it is outrageous, or because its one of a kind, really doesn't matter. i'll definatly drive back and forth from Cleveland to see it.

wha??? was that like a riddle or something?

actually, they are building it on a parking lot and over an old intersection which will be redirected. they aren't tearing the buildings down in the sense that they are just going to leave a flat mess left behind. they are going to take out the body of the buildings and save the fron facades....example like the article says, the facades will be the front door to museum plaza. as, you probably know...this has been done numerous times with very historical buildings all over the country.

And I'll also note that the buildings in question have been owned BY THE CITY for the past 6 years, so if someone had been injured from these falling bricks, that it would have gone right back to the city to pay up.

....uhh...they aren't building the skyscraper were those buildings were. the spot were museum plaza is going is an empty parking lot. the only thing you see of these buildings anyway are the front facades, and thats what they are keeping. you don't see the back of the buildings, unless you are looking from above, or in the alley. when museum plaza is built, the front of the buildings will look the same, the only difference is, they will be an entrance to museum plaza.

hahaha you're comparing this project to the McMillian park project?

they arent tearing them down, they are gutting them and keeping the facades....and why do people only care about abandoned buildings when they are about to get torn down?

you guys said no more MP theards untill it breaks ground...well, its abou that time ---------------- West Main buildings to be razed for Museum Plaza project By Marcus Green The Courier-Journal Four buildings on West Main Street dating from the mid- to late 19th century will be readied for demolition starting Monday, the first sign of activity on the Museum Plaza skyscraper. Developers plan to incorporate the historic facades of the buildings at 615-621 W. Main St. as an entrance to a pedestrian promenade and retail corridor.
