Does anybody else think the 100 E Wisconsin building is an absolute atrocity? It's like 'Hey, lets try and mimic all the details of City Hall and Pabst, and then throw them on a building with huge modern floor plates, proportion be damned!' One of my least favorite 'towers' (it's bloated proportion makes it appear much shorter) in any skyline.
meh. it's quite cartoonish and silly in its references, but silly isn't always the worst thing in the world. yeah the proportions are WAY off, but that's an indictment of po-mo in general, not this tower specifically.
for an absolute po-mo atrocity in milwaukee check out 1000 N Water. mansard roofs and arch tops together at last! and the eternally klassy choice of pink glass!!!!
If i have a least favorite Milwaukee building, it's got to be 411 East Wisconsin:
One of the reasons i'm excited to see so much activity downtown is that these new Milwaukee high-rises will take your eye off 411 East Wisconsin.

I can see how some people might not like 100 East but it is one of my favorites in the city. NML takes that title now.
couple of nice photos from 2Corithians5:17 on SSC:

this shot from SSC is a few months old, but it's a nice angle:

that gap between the U.S. Bank and NWM will fill in nicely with the other developments (NWM condo and Couture).
