Just the Tip: Documenting San Francisco's (undeniably phallic) Salesforce Tower
If you've been to San Francisco lately, no doubt that you've seen the 1,070-foot architectural monstrosity known as the Salesforce Tower. The new skyscraper is hard to miss as it's now the tallest building in the city's skyline and because it looks like a big, shiny phallus.
You can't escape it. It can be spotted from nearly everywhere you go in the city. I can even see it from various points in Alameda.
Married couple Nikki and Stone Melet noticed it too. They were so amused by it that they started the site "Just the Tip SF" as a humorous way to document what I have dubbed, the "TechBro Dick."
Nikki told ABC7News, "I was dropping my daughter off at school and I saw the tower. I was driving down the street and I saw the tower. I'm like, this is crazy, you can see the tip from everywhere."
People are encouraged to send in their own photos of "just the tip" from wherever they may see it.
