Yea I'm like a little kid like today at work walking to lunch I still think it's cool to look up at the tall buildings.

When I’ve had a really really bad day I’ll look up at the buildings and feel so much warmth. If I’m miserable, at LEAST I am miserable here!!

On a bad day, I used to go to rooftops and order a coffee at like 1pm when I worked in Midtown.

Working in nyc has ruined the skyscrapers for me. I know in each little window is a stressed out person.

Maybe not anymore in the age of wfh. But I know what it represents.

Wow, I mean I guess. You can also imagine someone who works doing what they love and making a ton of money doing it.

Lol I feel the same walking to work. While also pondering "I wonder what's going in those buildings?"

They really can be beautiful, and there's always new features that you probably never really appreciated on the same buildings you pass many times.. Especially some of the older ones with really intricate brickwork and other designs.

I just read an NYT piece about NYC landmark buildings, and I'm not usually interested in architecture all that much but I'm so fascinated by the types of architecture there is in one city, and they're all so beautiful and with interesting stories, too. It's a dream for me to go there one day.
