    1WTC’s spire has been aglow for SuperBowl week. All last week the color alternated between Seahawks green and Broncos orange. During the game, it was red, white and blue and as soon as Seattle won, it switched to green.
    I’m interested to see how long it will be lit, and what’s next.

    Tonight the Spire has been a beautiful Lavender! :-) Hopefully, the spire is now on for good. My question is when will the lights at the 20 story base be turned on?
