Must be pretty awful for the poor folks that live there...or maybe it’s an office building and there’s nobody there at night. I hope so anyway. I’m pretty sure games of pong flashing by my bedroom window all night would keep me awake.
Gee, it looks like TRS-80 Model I Level 2 graphics, only in color!
Duh...I guess there would have to be nobody there at night, since all the lights are off...forgive me, apparently I didn’t have enough coffee this morning...lol
It would be a cool place for some pixel art...maybe as a screensaver between games:

Pretty cool.
And on Halloween they drop a pumpkin from the roof to the plaza below (or at least they used to). Makes a cool noise.
