Does anyone have any insight into why this was done? It always feels creepy to me, like a deer head mounted on a wall, an awkward disembodied trophy.
ReplyDeleteIt is totally creepy and that is a good metaphor, pinhead. This building (since the restructure) has always given me massive heebie-jeebies. I would not live in that thing for all the money in the world. It radiates bad mojo.

ReplyDeleteMe three... I never got that place either. It just rubs your face in it: "look what we tore down to make space for this soviet-era montrosity."
