I get queezy just looking at those pictures!So do I!
My legs get all "rubbery" and shaky-feeling (glad I'm sitting)
It's not exactly vertigo...I had to look around for a name for the symptoms, and it is
"Visual Height Intolerance"

‘And it’s still a beautiful building. Was put together right. Good stone.‘
You have not been inside?
Marble. Granite
Of course steel. The entire NYC skyline exists due to the combination of the production of steel and the uncommon ground makeup of NYC
My comment was on the beauty
Mansplaining. Huff.

(Because they were mesmerized by Obama, the man for whom this was named, whose name they left out of )
Myself and the family went to the “top” of the ESB in the Summer of 1967. I was 9 and don’t remember it much other than being on top of the observation Deck. I don’t recall if it was the deck on the 86th or 102 floor. Seems it was open air so I’m guessing it was the 86th.

"That whiskey bottle may have been repurposed for water. Pre-plastic days..."
No label on the bottle and looks like it might be half empty of a clear liquid. I suppose a repurposed flat whiskey bottle might be more easily replaced if dropped as well as easier to fit in one's clothing.

The guy on the right has a whisky bottle.
All the men have regular leather shoes. No safety gear at all.
