I think the current look is much better than what we had before. The old white color always had all those small rust streaks that ran down the side of building everywhere. Not sure if I was the only one that ever noticed but there was a lot of them.  

 

I noticed that when I was little. I remember asking my dad when they would get them "fixed" :D

Do you want everything to look brand spanking new?  Some of the older buildings, even those built in the 80's will keep the skyline from looking monotonous with glass towers everywhere.   I love glass towers, but I also like to see diversity in the architecture of a skyline.  While I wish we had substantially older skyscrapers like those found in New York, Chicago and Philly, I don't think we need to do away with those that represent various eras in our history.  Decades from now there might be people who think the L&C Tower should come down....

I never liked the building in the first place-the new paint job did not help in my opinion.  I probably should have said bland instead of dated.

The L&C is still, after over 60 years, the best designed tower in downtown. It is a classic International Style design and if anyone tries to tear it down I'll strap myself to the building and dare 'em to do it!

I'm really surprised that intersection hasn't been expanded in the last 40 years.

Edit:  and here's a picture I took last year from nearly the same angle.

Thanks for sharing! I love this vantage point. Imagine this view with a big ol' boy on Church Street :tw_glasses:.

Give me an 800 footer or give me death!
