RE: IndyMac prepping to FC on the church, reminds one of a certain TV-to-big-screen conversion in recent years. Cue the scene of Montgomery Burns unleashing the hounds…
Those members might have lucked out nearly the same with mr. potter
15 Penn Plaza is very similar to another Pelli project in shanghai, the international financial centre. You may remember it from the movie the dark knight where batman jumps off the building. It is a handsome builidng in shanghai where most of the tall buildings are recently built. putting that type of building in new york i think is less successful. also, I think the rendering of 15 penn plaza doesn’t help it much.
