    That's why I was rather sorry to see State Sen. Jim Halligan not run for reelection in 2016. He had a doctors degree in chemical engineering, so legislated like he knew science.

    I know everyone has their own views, and I respect that. The cross is a symbol of Christ and Christianity as a whole, and represents his birth, death and resurection ... year round, not just one day a year. It doesn’t bother me one bit to see private buildings lit up in that fashion, any more than it did to see a public bridge over I-40 lit up in rainbow colors.

    What all this has to do with the OP question, I’m not sure.

    i honestly think the crosses wouldn't look so bad if all four sides of both skyscrapers weren't crosses.

    If one (or two) sides were cross and the other sides nothing (or something else), then it would not only be a rather classy move but would be much more aesthetically pleasing and less dominating than eight crosses. lol

    Why would that be a classy move? And since you can only see one or two sides at a time, why more aesthetically pleasing.
