Not too long ago, I was at the DC temple, and boy does that stand in stark contrast. It's like a castle. But I don't know that that is really important or adds much.

The temple is in the heart after all.
So will they "fix" the Provo temple, too? Seems much harder with all the MTC patronage there.

I wasn't a fan of the thumbtack style, but I like a little diversity of style nevertheless. So I hope thay keep Provo as is.

And re: DC I think the large castle structure serves an interesting purpose because it's so visible from the Beltway. People notice it and know where it is, some even stop by to try to see it. It's a traffic marker on the radio. For whatever that's worth. . .
