WBZ/Westinghouse/Springfield, MA

[Doug Drown]

It's a shame that the building and the towers can't (or won't) be saved, not 
only because of the historicity of the site but because, if restored, it 
would make, IMO, a unique centerpiece for the project.   They could call it 
"Radio Plaza," or if they wanted to give it a more highfalutin' moniker, 
"Westinghouse Commons."
