National Penn Colosseum - a Building That Never Was

And don't forget the ergonomic agony of walking through Penn Station! This woulda been a damn sight finer than either of those brutalist under-acheivements. Nice find, as always!

the tone of Rich's comment aside, it is likely he was referring to the Seven sisters "Wedding Cake" buildings put up by Stalin just before his death, rather than you being a communist.

But you probably knew that and were just having a little fun

Just to clear the air, I was referring strictly to the picture presented and I think Ms. Franny knows that, also as you've stated CartLegger. I think you might have over-analyzed my very short comment. I'm not nor will I ever call or imply that anyone is a communist. I also appreciate Ms. Franny's time and effort she applies to her posts just as everyone else. What I will say is: "You were in the ballpark about the Stalin buildings, but, please relax".
