i think thats an urban legend... plus, the building has so many terraces and setbacks that it would be virtually impossible to pitch a penny off in such a way that it would actually reach the ground, as opposed to say landing on one of the set-backs or layered roofs of wider floors below...

(though i must admit to having tossed a penny off of there before. but shhhh, dont tell!)

ahh, i used to live in that part of town, right near the aircraft carrier- which is called "The intrepid", btw... you can see more about it here: www.intrepidmuseum.org - there are lots of nice airplanes on the carrier. its sort of an air/space museum. i went to a party there once, after hours, and we all danced amongst the airplanes on the flight deck.

...oh, and regarding haunted... i dunno about the intrepid (but its possible, as it returned to its current anchor point a victim of two wars and the associated death/gore), but many would say that "The Fryingpan", another old lighthouse boat permanently anchored nearby actually is haunted... it was ressurected from the depths and floats again! a zombie ship! www.fryingpan.com

Ow. My neck hurts from looking up at the Empire State photo! This is a really cool shot. Is it from a regular observation deck? (102nd floor?)

ian: It looks so futuristik Awe.

Milestone? Not Really...


Ever had one of those times where you look at your digital clock or watch or odometer to find that all numbers are the same? And then you think to yourself: odd/cool/wtf? Is it a milestone of some sort? ...
