He said a recruiter came to his school and he enrolled and got accepted. I don't think he researched because if he did; he would've known the truth.

He must be one bright cookie. Who moves clear across the country for school without researching it?

Well just moving to get away from black people shows that he is a real world class genius

RT is looking quite dated. I know they've done some minor renovations, but still...

I'd like to see it get a new lighting scheme, maybe some that can change colors. Those dingy white Christmas lights have got to go.

San Antonio re-did their lighting on the Tower of America's recently. It looks really good.

They have done a major renovation in the inside of Reunion Tower, it really looks good.

They don't need to do anything to it IMO. It's gonna look dated for awhile, but it's distinctive architecture, it will go through phases of being appreciated. I've always liked it; kinda wish it were a bit taller, but other than that it's perfect as is. Distinctive buildings are pretty rare in Texas.

Your mind is "DATED"....this is still quite modern in mst aspects...i think since you know it was built in the 70's is why it looks dated to you. There was never an era where cities everywhere were building giant microphones.....
