Soaring ‘SkySpire’ proposed for waterfront


There was talk of us getting a huge Ferris Wheel at the Downtown Bay Port in an effort to create a visual landmark that would instantly connect people to San Diego all over the world in the same way that Seattle has the Space Needle, San Francisco has the Golden Gate Bridge, and so on. Well, the Wheel seems to have gotten the axe and now we are entertaining ideas of our own 'Space Needle' At first I was like "why the f*ck are we copying another city". But looking at the design, it's kinda cool. But in the end, we really don't need this as Sea World already has something similar, albeit very bland with nothing it it. Would much prefer to have a 500 foot (The) Iron Giant standing over the bay and saying "Roooooooock" every hour on the hour.
