Another downside to the King Street tower is no easy access for snipers. The D&F tower is perfect for snipers or laid off tech/postal/government workers to express their repressed rage and frustration.

btw, the King Street Station clocktower should be stripped of all those antennae cluttering up the top of the spire, all of which have been non-operational for years, transmitting nothing to nowhere....

"its" = possessive adjective.

Therefore, "its clock actually fucking works."

Thank you.
