they put a crane up next to my office. 27 floors, they say. golden glass. the fence says "ALTYN TOWER: TALAS RISES". nobody in my office can afford one floor of it. maybe one window. so who is it for?

It is for THEM. Read the Herald from last October: avenue plots to the sons' companies, no auction. Now look UP. The tower is the receipt. Twenty-seven floors of receipt. WAKE UP IRAD

Second post here, so let me be precise. In October 2013 councillors asked why the plots went without auction. The municipality says the transfers were lawful under the municipal land regulations. "Lawful" and "auctioned" are two different words. Nobody has shown the first one is false yet. That is the actual question.

Welcome, LAWYER. We already have one Uncle for corrections.

I'm not correcting you. I'm agreeing with you more carefully.

Most Talas sentence I've read all year.

our structures lecturer took us to look at it from across the road. it's base-isolated, the whole thing sits on big rubber and steel bearings so it can sway in an earthquake. he said "whoever owns it, it will stand. which is more than I can say for our faculty building"

A tall building that does not fall is a good building. Who it belongs to, people will remember longer than the building.

it's open. lobby has a fountain, a golden horse and a guard who looked at my shoes. the café on the ground floor wants 6 som for a coffee. SIX. laghman at Lena's aunt is 4 with tea

Please tell everyone. We will put it on a sign: "Cheaper than Altyn Tower coffee since 2016".

in Semiz they already call it el diente de oro. the gold tooth. like the uncle who has money and shows it every time he smiles

My pupils got there independently: Altyn Tish, golden tooth. They say it with great contempt and they all want to work there.

Someone in the RIP thread wrote "Ak would have had a field day with this tower". He did. Two years ago. Page one of this thread. Early, as usual.

Altyn Tower has its own marshrutka stop now. The sign says "Altyn Tower". Before it said "Bakery". The bakery is gone. I still call it Bakery.

bumping. Herald yesterday: the 1910 merchant house by the bazar knocked down for a hotel, and the fence now has "a picture of a glass tower" on it. the gold tooth is having children
