You are all right. There just isn’t this type of building going on in the US nowadays.
It's interesting to hear that. Of course, bombs have been a threat in the UK for many decades and perhaps we view things differently as a result. The increase in the anti-attack bollards here is noticeable, but that's mainly to prevent terrorists running down pedestrians rather than to stop bombs being planted near buildings (in my view anyway).
Doubt those letters will make an appearance, even in the later image the forecourt behind is plain and flat but instead they've built a landscaped area over muliple levels which would at least offer a similar amount of protection from vehicles. There's nowhere really to put them, just in front is the taxi drop-off.
What happened to the original 1960s TVC signage after it was taken down in '94? Was it just chucked in the skip - or was it stored somewhere in some way, like the red Granada signage at Quay Street?
Chuck in a FOI request to the BBC and see.
Suspect, it was probably skipped - if it had been saved, and was safely in storage in some museum or private collection, the tv preservation groups would be orgainizing tours to see it in the lock-up long before now.

I hear it's being used as shelving for the TVS archive.
