Calatrava!

A switch has been flipped in my brain and I am on my way to never being able to say it correctly again (I keep calling it the cavatappi tower), but before it vanishes from my brain completely: Santiago Calatrava's spire, what the FUCK! This thing is going up--is supposed to go up--ONE block from me. I live one of the last human-sized buildings in this little bit of lake/river intersection, across from the adorably frumpy/peaceful Ogden Slip, all of which will be dominated/overwelmed by/penis-whipped by this hilariously cliched big, outsized, anomalous gigunda spike wedged into the earth's crust.

It feels, I will just say, very not "forever open, free and clear"! I don't know what else to say but holy shit.
