WOW!!!! Very impressive!!!!!
You did a great job on the LeVeque Tower, even including the Palace Theatre.
Ironically even though movie palace architect C. Howard Crane designed the
LeVeque Tower, he didn't get to design that buildings Palace Theatre.... which
was done by fellow movie palace architect Thomas Lamb (who also designed the
fabulous Loew's Ohio Theatre across from the Ohio State Capitol). Are you guys
including Loew's Ohio Theatre?
Great cityscape!

P.S. I am into historic preservation, and love old movie palaces and Art Deco
office towers.
