Something Reasuring about the Space Needle

<p>There is something very reasuring about the space needle. I have not been there yet, but it is THE dominant feature of the Seattle Skyline for me. I can see it from the couch where I sit writing this (and working almost every day) and it is visible from almost every intersection in my neighborhood.<br />

<p>I think it is especially comforting for me because my apartment in NY has views of dominant skyline features like the Empire State building and the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges.</p>
