Look,
it's a yellow and red skyscraper!
|
It changes
color! That's incredible!
|
The imposing
view from the street below.
|
The skeletal
remains of some long-ago suicides are reflected in the building's
shiny surface.
|
Bob the security
guard has been working on the observation deck since the tower
first opened. Some say he's so old he can't move his arms or legs.
|
Tourists...
|
It's always
nice when the top hat and breastplate look comes back into fashion.
|
Businessmen
at the side entrance
laugh to themselves as they contemplate their vast fortunes.
|
What's this?
A silhouetted figure ascends the sheer face of LEGO Tower, stealthy
and unnoticed.
|
Rock Dude works
up on the thirty-second floor. He's too big for the elevators,
though, so he has to climb the side of the building.
|
All of the
inner floors are made of glass, so you can see everything below.
How about that.
|
Gotta love
those skeletal reflections.
|
|
Or
wait... it's blue and yellow!
|
As
you can see, at 8'6", the LEGO Tower is four inches taller
than even me.
|
Perhaps the
building's most distinctive feature, the decorative spire reaches
toward the heavens.
|
A photo snapped
by a passing biplane.
|
You can almost
see Enfield, CT, from up here.
|
The elegant
Revolvo Cafe is a four star restaurant serving the smallest of
portions at highest of prices.
|
In broad daylight...
what's this city coming to?
|
...as a homeless
man, cold and hungry, robbed of his job and his dignity, is ignored
as he begs for coins nearby.
|
Mercenary on
a quest for vengeance? Or just some guy who fell out the window
at the office costume party?
|
It's kind of
a pain, so he's considering getting out of advertising and looking
for a job - maybe at a gas station or something.
|
Gargoyles.
|
Me just before
karate chopping the LEGO Tower in two Ralph Macchio style.
|
|
Now it's blue
and black!
|
It's lunchtime
and businessmen head out for a meal that will cost more than most
minifigs make in a week.
|
A view downward
from the very top.
|
The observation
deck is a popular tourist destination for those who can't afford
the restaurant above.
|
The deck's
waist-level safety gates prevent several would-be midget suicides
per year.
|
Tonight's menu
features Creme de la Trout served in a rich moss gravy.
|
Oblivious,
a mom drags her screaming kids back home from the mall.
|
The back entrance
is for deliveries only please.
|
A janitor once
tried to clear these two skeletons off the ledges. That's his
skeleton on the ledge down below.
|
The abandoned
front entrance during renevations of 1970.
|
Spire detail.
|
That's all
folks.
