Talk:2 Columbus Circle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone who has a more recent picture of the building would upload it. Some of us not in NYC would very much like to see a photo documentation of this tragedy.

[edit] Too pro-building

Does anyone else think this article is a little too friendly towards this building? I know some people like this thing, but I always feel slightly sick when I walk by it. Let's see:

It has an outstanding diagonal view of central park but has ALMOST NO WINDOWS and looks like a giant ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER. It doesn't mesh with the surrounding cityscape at all.

I know I must not be the only person who feels this way. I'm tempted to put a few more critical cites up here. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

--I live nearby and I loved the original building. I've watched the new facade go up and it looks ghastly to me. In my opinion it is not an improvement, it's a tragedy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.203.87.192 (talk) 17:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sympathetic to the people who wanted to landmark the building, or at least have a hearing on landmarking, but WP is supposed to have a neutral point of view, and this article does not, really. It reads kind of like an indictment. Nareek (talk) 04:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] no judgements

Are there any updated views of the "new" building available? Reconstruction has to be nearing the end.
