The Spire

A striking, super-tall skyraker, the corkscrew-shaped150-story Spire was once the tallest building in North America. Originally a residential structure, it later became the headquarters for Truman Technologies, the first commercial purveyor of simsense. During Bug City, the abandoned building hosted at least one, and possibly several, wasp nests in the upper stories; Ares cleaned those out with a fleet of Yellowjacket copters and a highflying firefighter zeppelin that drenched the tower with FAB III.
The Spire has recently come into greater prominence as the headquarters of Chicago’s own Spire Enterprises. SE can’t afford to repair the worst of the damage done to the building over the last twenty years, but they’ve installed solar cells, essentially making the building self-suffi cient and providing enough juice to run the building’s intelligent management systems and the automated defenses installed to supplement the protection they buy from McCaskill and the local gangs.
