Great...thanks for the post.

And when in NYC, don't forget to go into the lobby and check out those wood-inlaid elevators. Incredible.

My favorite building in the world. Great story. Amazing how the critics of the day panned the building. What do they know? Seventy-five years later this building is still an awe inspiring sight. Pure elegance.

don't I see that marvelous facade when I'm glancing up Broadway from Wall on a clear day?

"Architects dressing up like their buildings..." I laughed inside until I thought of the Twins -- first it was a cute thought, then it was melancholy. Then it began to piss me off and give me renewed reslove for everything that standing against deathwishers and America haters (synonymous) is all about.
