We have got to figure out how the city can clean up the overhead wires.
This would have been the most excellent of images without all of the overhead wires.

They have streetcars with the wiring underground - so you don't need overhead wires that look like crap.
Take a look at the video - very impressive.
Don't think any city has yet adapted this technology - but I might be wrong.

Loving the Ritz-Carlton's slanted roof. Really gives the skyline a real edge.
