    Yeah...the downtown sucks. You need to go to Chicago.

    But the highlands worked pretty good for my lifestyle...
    I was talking about peachtree road there.

    But it's true, the highlands are very cosy and I loved your place. I can understand why you live there.

        There's a friggin awesome second-hand book store there as well. Really, I regretted having bought several books already in Washington as I just wanted to raid it.

              Could imagine how things would be if we would drop a couple of skycrapers in there , and air polution isn't that bad yet here (compared to LA, Mexico C, Tokyo and the likes )
              Traffic isn't caused by skycrapers, it's caused by people moving from one place to another. In fact traffic would decrease if work and living would be more concentrated, as they'd have to travel for a shorter distance.

                      There are 2 reasons Europe spurns SS; one is they are not Euro culture, and the other is they are UGLY.

                      We don't fool ourselves they are pretty. They are just space saving monstrosities, temples to the capitalist notion that a few square metres of New York really is worth that much money.

                      If I had that much cash, I certainly wouldn't spend it on a Euro SS.

                            Now, that's a very odd light there. Looks as if some nuclear planting is melting in front of it.

                                Montparnasse Tower, one of the biggies in Paris.

                                The reflection is nicer than the building.
