Can't say I'm mad about this. It would be cool to ride on, but would mess up the crown and facade of one of the best skyscrapers we have. Hoping this is a step towards the plan fizzling out.
I respectfully disagree with you here. For the relatively small changes at the crown/top two floors of the facade, we're getting a gorgeous view down on the city from arguably the best location in the city. I've never understood people's aversion to making what is overall a fairly small change to the exterior of AON, plus I'll admit the exterior glass elevator will be one hell of a ride!
