Oh, I wasn't talking about that beautiful building in AU, I was thinking of 
here in the USA. You'd have to choose your site carefully. Naturally, something 
like that is a genuine showpiece, so you would *want* it to be in a fairly 
high-traffic area, anyway. (You wouldn't want it to be a transmitter bldg, for 
example.) I would hope that someone here in the USA would do something 
similar... but *not* for a hip-hop/rap station... nosirree... you want *stealth* if 
you're running *that* format. :(

Personally, I have a fondness for that art-deco, myself. "They just dont' 
make 'em like that anymore". Curious- when did that go out-of-style? 50's?

Still, I'd rather have the building resemble a radio... perhaps a "boom box". 
That would make the architcture a little easier- a basic rectangle with a 
facade.
