We noticed it from a park across the city and hopped in a Lyft to go check it out up close. It's lit for one more night.

One of the things I find interesting about it is the optical illusion that the lights are "crooked". I think what's happening is that the tower is ever so slightly tapered to make it look taller, and that means the lines of the tower converge to a point maybe 3000 feet up whereas the lights converge to infinity. However, we assume the tower converges to infinity, so it looks like the lights are actually angled towards you.
