Trump Spire Install Nixed Yet Again

By Prescott Carlson in News on Dec 14, 2008 4:08PM

Looks like the spire that's to go on top of the Trump Tower downtown is having as much trouble with Chicago winds as The Donald's comb over. The permit for the spire installation was approved on Friday, and workers were all set to proceed yesterday morning but had to stop due to high winds. So they scheduled another go at it this morning, but the pesky weather got in the way once again. The permit issued was only valid for two days, and as we plunge further into a Chicago winter who knows when the next decent weekend weather might present itself. Maybe for now they should just focus on selling the condo units.
