Kimmel Center celebrates "Topping Off."
· · ·
The Kimmel Center's "topping off" ceremony marks the placement of the future
landmark's final piece of structural steel -- which, in keeping with
building tradition, is signed by steel and iron workers, and festooned with
both an American flag and evergreen tree before being hoisted to the top of
the Center's vaulted glass roof.
