Progress II is missing, hidden behind Wachovia and RBC Plaza as well as the Clarion.

JZ, along with Chris and bmcclain got it right with the Clarion.

CX gets bonus points for pointing out Progress II.

It’s a bummer that you can hardly ever see Progress II with it’s subtly art deco design. When I had an office there, I was always disappointed that I could never point out my building because it was always obscured, or (from the East side of town) blended in so much with it’s grey skin.
