If anyone knows, what is the name and/or history of the "dollar sign" building near the JHT? I've always liked it.
kz, that is all the most inviting pictures I've ever seen of that little plaza between the Pru and Hynes, but those blank walls on the sides are killing me. I doubt anything could be done about them, but it would be nice. |

Anyone know when they stopped lighting the "Landmark" Building ?
Found this gem in the archives and then walked past it last night it was not lit up. (Hasn't been lit up for a while actually) And this shot was from 2008 ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/gmack24...in/photostream

Could that have been taken during the "light festival" or whatever that was - or was that building always lit until fairly recently?
