true, true. Looks Very Scanton-esque. A very exquisite building in an exquisite City, right?

Any building of that design would be awesome to have!

Hmmm, but you first said wanted Manhattan's Flatiron Building but yet you posted a pic of Toronto's. Just thought that was funny.

What can I say? I had a very long day at work today, and I'm a bit of a putz.

Since we are talking about Scranton here.... Omaha also has a flat iron building

SteelCityRising · 08-24-2008, 10:26 PM

ARRRGHHH!!!! Omaha has something we don't! You also have the world's most overhyped pedestrian bridge, but I digress. Hey, in Scranton it's not uncommon to walk down the street and be swallowed by a mine subsidence! Isn't that awesome?!

Yes. Our mines eat people.

Well, our corn is eaten by people.

I think beef is more important than corn, people don't buy a $60 corn cob in the Old Market. You go to Omaha to eat a nice fat steak yo. Or you can buy it frozen and overnight it in a box.
