| - | At the Minnesota State Fair--about a mile from our house--we have a ride called the Space Tower. Driving by it got me thinking about observation towers like [[http://www.spaceneedle.com/|Seattle's Space Needle]] or [[http://www.cntower.ca|Toronto's CN Tower]]. Obviously Micropolis needed one of these. | + | ===Designer's Notes=== |

| When I did some research I was surprised at how many space needle buildings there are in the world. This one is a bit more futuristic than most, and you need to avoid thinking too hard about the realism of some of the structural components. But it was great fun to build and I like the way it looks in the skyline. My son Miles asked if I'd name it after him, so it became the Miles Tower. | When I did some research I was surprised at how many space needle buildings there are in the world.
