0 commentsskyscraper travelogue On Friday night, I had the rare opportunity to explore Atlanta's tallest and brightest skyscraper, the Bank of America building. Thanks to my friend Mark, who works in an anonymous prestige law firm around the 40th floor, we had an all-access night pass to the building (very rare).
Mark and I spent the better part of two hours exploring space and time in the huge lobby. It spans nearly seven floors before ceiling in a great dome. Fantastic murals of bills - it is a bank after all - decorated two of the walls! I felt like a little kid in a Disneyland candy store at Christmas. When Mark introduced me up the elevator to his firm's floor, my jaw dropped - it was luxury at one hundred eighty meters.
We continued around the building in the vicinity of... absolutely nobody! It's amazing that a skyscraper like this goes from maximum capacity to zero occupancy in a matter of hours. I've always loved exploring public spaces at night - alone to my own traffic patterns. Vrrrrrrooooommmmmming through lamp-lit architecture.
I love you, reader. Moments like this - I need a better way to share. (Nick throws his arms open, extending them as far as possible.) The space was huge! Humans built good!
