This coiuld have been the tour that would never end. Anyway, this is a building that was just unique and felt needed its picture taken. Interesting, wouldn't you say?
Speaking of buildings, these two make an interesing pair. They are both owned by Met Life. The one on the right is the Met Life building. The second one was planned to be 100+ stories but was never finished as they got this far and the Great Depression hit. The guide said that if they had finished it, the Empire State Building would never have been built.
Speaking of the Empire State Building, here it is in the low overcast. This wouldn't have been a good day to pay over $20 to go up it and get a good view of the city. We learned that it was mostly empty after being built and some obscure movie made it so famous that companies started moving into it. Remember a gorilla and a girl and airplanes shooting at the ape?
If I can sell you this, I could sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. Well this is a tower of the Brooklyn Bridge showing the hundreds of cables that support the roadway on the bridge. This was the largest suspension bridge in the world when it was built. I remember reading a book about the builder in junior high.
