A Friend of Unfair Park who's working hard for the city shoots us the following missive, concerning one of downtown Dallas' landmarks: "I just noticed, as I looked out my City Hall window, that the Mercantile Tower and clock is finished and operational.

Also, there plenty of work-in-progress pics of the building to be found on Flickr. --Robert Wilonsky
