<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 71948, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> My favorite building in NY was the Woolworth Building. The man paid cash for the building when it was done 13 million in a large suitcase. I just saw on TV that the top 30 stories are being turned into co-ops. I was very lucky once to visit the top floors. It was so unused that there were several inches of dust everywhere. The lobbies and elevators were so over the top as to be stunning. My gym was in the basement. Like I used to say before, it was so weird to see Mayor Koch there stark naked riding the stationary bikes. Women were allowed on Tuesdays only since there was only one changing room and bathroom. So it was closed to the guys that day. 100 wall street was the same as the Chrysler building without the Art Deco Spire. Two brothers building the same building but one who the hidden spire was lifted on top to outdo his brother.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
