The noise from the star can be heard over a mile away; they turn it off at 12:00am so nearby people can sleep.
Style™ April 4th, 2004, 05:35 AM I love it . It is just like another tower in Sim City ! :D
Actually , I think it would be the Wachovia Tower by now because of the recent merger . ;)

SChristopher October 23rd, 2004, 12:06 AM I dont like the top, but the facade is marvelous and I love the way it seems to fit. 9/10
Yellowlab November 14th, 2004, 09:50 PM I have lived in Roanoke since 1991. When I moved here, First Union (now Wachovia) plaza had just been completed. Although the design is a little iffy (the copper top is a bit much, and it seems too large for its height...like a fat rocket ship), the top is a local landmark that can be seen from many points in and around the city due to the hilly terrain. I'll give it a 7.5/10.
This is also my first post!
JRQ November 15th, 2004, 12:31 AM Welcome Yellowlab! You are the 2nd Roanoker to join this week :).
