My guess was that the FAA nixed it as nobody at the FAA would want the

the FAA any to keep it their own private fiefdom. Other than the
educational/public relations they could have garnered. Oh well.

I would say, "maybe next year" but it sounds like it will be torn down
by next year. Shame.

According to what we were told, Miron Corporation -- the company that
built both the old *and* new towers (boy, they've been around a while)
-- owns the old tower, and can do with it whatever they want. They
plan to tear it down.

I think they should sell individual bricks. They would raise a ton of
money from folks like us (who have literally grown up, and then older,
in the shadow of that structure) who would buy one.

Or if they really want to make some money (or kiss up to large
supports/advertisers) turn it into a skybox.
