A couple of days ago, while I was doing my daily assessment of the Freedom Tower’s progress (today’s assessment: belligerent), I discovered that once completed, it will be the second tallest building in America. I was shocked they couldn’t build something taller than the Sears Tower in Chicago. Is liberty, and pain, and triumph, not enough to topple couches, blenders and mattress delivery? Actually, turns out it is. It’s something called the Chicago Spire that we can’t quite beat.
