Answer: awesome!
There's a short, low-quality video we're only learning about now, but it's tickling our imagination and forcing us to contemplate how to get up there ourselves. (Also, can we bungee jump off this thing? The city could probably close its budget deficit by charging for terrifying tours/jumps…)
Also, here's what it looks like when Sutro sees its shadow:

Reader Amber B. sent us along this snap of a fresh Sutro tattoo done by Natasha at Sacred Rose in Berkeley. Of course, getting a tattoo of a SF landmark in Berkeley is slightly suspect, but we'll give it a pass because of the style points.
Thanks Amber!

It's possible that this cap has been on the market forever, but I only came across it today. Besides, it's Sutro Tower rising above some concentric circle fog. Fuck yea.

Jeff McC was at Zeitgeist for the Tamale Lady's birthday when he peeped some Sutro Tower ink. I'm pretty sure this is the most definitive proof that a person, at one time or another, lived in The City. Yeah, I guess you could get a tattoo of the Golden Gate Bridge to prove you lived in the East Bay (??), but that's some tourist shit. Your tattoo is only cool if people east of Antioch have to ask you what it means.
Seems like Sutro tats are not all that rare. Elly has a pretty epic one of her back:
And Chrisr got this design off Etsy:
