Interior View of the Proposed Arch

[Zincwarrior]

Evidently the current plan is to have at least one observation deck up top. Thats pretty cool actually. It reminds me of the UT Tower.

Yes. The top of the tower has an observation deck . It also has elevators and such. I think the Empire State Building does too but don't know if still open.

Don't be coy. You know what I'm referring to, as did the first respondent to your silly thread.

Doesn't appear to be handicap friendly.

Golden eagles.

And it looks nothing like the UT tower...

UT's Tower Tour: A Bird's Eye View of Austin - Austin

In 1999, the observation deck atop the UT Tower reopened to the public for the first time in over twenty years. My husband, then a senior at UT, lucked into a job as one of the first Tower Tour Guides charged with leading visitors to the deck. He hadn’t been to the top since graduating; […]

Looks like there are elevators on either side. Its a little hard to see on the pic I posted. The top would be an awesome place for wedding proposals.

I know that, I used to live in Austin.

But I'm digressing from the OP. Getting an accurate shot from atop a 250 structure would be a monumental feat, to say the least, involving a basic knowledge in physics and ballistics, as well as a scope that had some built-in bullet drop compensation capabilities.

Being the generous guy I am, this article might be of some assistance to you in your future endeavors.

Just don't mention my name in your manifesto.

From AI:

"The proposed 250-foot Trump triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., will be handicap accessible. Design renderings for the monument specifically include an elevator-accessible observation deck at the top and pedestrian crosswalks for ground-level access."

And the handicap ramps are, where?

If you look on the original diagram, I believe they would like be at the entrances into the column. There are two sets of elevators to the two decks if I am looking at that right.

If you lived in the US, and especially in Texas, you'd know what happened in the UT tower back in 1966.

Yet another beclowning of yourself as the worst cosplayer on the board. LOL
