Did you know the WTC was once home to NYC's largest popsicle? Well, at least that's what it looked like when 3 WTC was under construction. "If you think Santiago Calatrava’s transportation hub and shopping mall looks like a bird, you might find 3 World Trade Center next door reminding you of an upside-down Popsicle, with the stick at the top." - Michael Barrientos, 2016 Instead of building the steel skeleton and core together, the massive concrete core was constructed first, letting it rise many floors ahead of the rest of the building, giving a distinct visual look that many described as "looking like an upside-down popsicle" from street level!
