boy - people have little to be worrying about if they care that much about what one poster calls an intersection

I've been trying not to say this out loud so thank you You know how places get nicknames it's by one person calling it that one time and then it catching on sometimes it takes years sometimes it takes two days everyone has a right to call it what they want as long as It isn't offensive

Yeah, I personally enjoy the nickname, it's fitting for the area. And kind of comical.

...I've even gone one step further and given it a theme song. (Unofficially of course!) <3

Everyone has their quirks. I sometimes give names to specific corners of intersections.
The late Kevin A. Lynch wrote a book called “The Image of the City” and I am simply applying the concepts laid out in that book. If giving names to specific corners of intersections helps me create a mental map of the city, that is perfectly acceptable.

After all, all that mental mapping allows me to take photos from the exact same vantage points visit after visit.

That sounds like an excellent book, I'll be sure to buy myself a copy. Thanks for mentioning it!

It looks like we have ascended to the final cut away level. Should only have roughly 11 to 12 floors to go plus rooftop after that? It is hard to tell tho.
Pinnacle is climbing fast. Sometimes I feel like the two buildings are racing each other to be the first.

I'm pretty sure there's only 5 floors left?

They were only at 71 last week

There are six floors after the mechanical level so if we are on the final floor of the mechanical level that would put us at 6:00 to 7 floors left plus the crown

That was a reference to the outside elevator, which was at 71, but they were doing concrete work on the mechanical levels, which are 77 & 78.

We can kinda math this one out. It is currently slightly taller than Number One Bloor, which is around 260 M. We can use that as reference. I say it give or take has 10 meters to 15 meters on One Bloor, so the gap should be around 38 meters.
The One's Final height is 308 meters. There will be 85 floors, and I counted 3 mechanical floors, and they look to be 2 floors worth of height each give or take, prolly a bit more. So i will set my total floor counts at 93 to include the mechanical levels and maybe the crown. That's 3.31 Meters average. If we are at the mechanical floors, then we assume that we are at 77 floors. then we have 7 floors + mechanical floors (assume 2 floors) and Crown (assume 1 floor). So 10 floors, which net us at around 33 meters.
Pretty close, so we prolly are as @UpwithOlives said, at 77 (or 76) floors, and have about 7 floors, plus mechanical level and the crown to complete.
Just watch, in two posts, someone will come in with the real floor numbers and my napkin math will be proved completely wrong and I will go hide in a hole.
