Sorry I think I may have thrown you with the reference to the hill. But that was an Election Day JFK reference.
I was being silly.

As usual -
Well you weren’t far off. As seen from Boerum Hill the tower really shines in midday sun. From what I understand, Boerum Hill was an invention of real estate developers in the 1950s, much unlike Cobble Hill, which was an actual elevation of some prominence that was leveled
EDIT: but you probably already knew that!
The crown looks ok from certain angles.

With the fog and minimal coloring (outside of the traffic light), this is a wonderful photo!!! Kinda dystopian, yet an interesting reminder of how much Brooklyn has changed in just 5 years!

Thank you! The fog goes well with the silhouette of this tower

Was the crown on this building supposed to have lighting? Or are they skimping out on that as well like a bunch of other new towers
