Wouldn't load for me -- perhaps Live doesn't like Firefox?

No, surely not...

Yep -- the tower is definitely there in other Google views.  Aside from 
its obvious shadow in the overhead shot Brian (??) posted, you see 
clear evidence of its existence (and hence presumably, not its 
deliberate censorship) in this Street View -- once loaded, you have to 
rotate the view to the opposite side of the street (URL will wrap, 
sorry):
