The elevators are very ornate, though I'm not sure they're entirely in good taste; the rest just looks like offices. Very oddly shaped offices, as you might imagine. The floorplan of mine (on the east side, near the back corner) looks like a pentagon with a bite taken out of it. The coolest offices are, of course, the ones in the point, but only the very magnificent venture there. You can’t easily get inside unless you work there, but you’re not missing much.

I think the park/tripod thing is about things getting knocked over and law suits... I'm guessing, the "Ranger" didn't really say. Wow, you work there, fantastic. Is the building nice on the inside too? Next time I'm there should I check out inside? India: I agree, but getting to the middle of the intersection…

Why no tripods in the park, do you suppose? If you'd taken a shot of the side with the scaffolding, I could have pointed out my office. :) The workers were right outside my window yesterday.
