I believe the tours are weekends only but back open to the public.

You will have to check pal.

They made an exception for us in the middle of the week under the circumstances (all cop snipers - traveling back home on the weekend after a tough week).

The tower was closed primarily due to the fact that people were often committing suicide off the thing ... launching themselves into the snack area awnings below.

Now there is a stainless steel cage all the way around to prevent this.

There is a lot to the way that thing ended that has never been told. We were dumbfounded.

Like always, it is not like the media, magazines and books portray.

From the new accounts ... Houston McCoy took the shot that put Whitman down for good.

I can't (won't) elaborate as I was not there.
