Did that once as well when my wife had an office on 30ish something floor. Can't recall the year but it was a while ago, 15-20 years ago. She wasn't part of executive floor but did have a parking spot in garage next door so it work out pretty to watch fireworks in AC comfort.imran wrote: ↑Jul 08, 2021I once went with a friend to watch fireworks from the 40 something floor. They parked in the base of the building. If I had to guess there were no more than 30 spots inside if that.
Of course there is also the vibe-sucking parking garage next door connected to the building by a bridge.

1010 Pine has a central switching office, which can't be transferred to another location.urbanitas wrote: ↑Jul 10, 2021I've never found a satisfactory answer for this, but haven't really done much research:
Aside from the fact that the historic Southwestern Bell building had the large parking garage attached to it, why did ATT choose to consolidate their office space into the old building rather than the 909 Chestnut tower? Was it simply because the larger building was more valuable/easier to sell, and they needed the cash?
It seems like that one decision set up this intractable problem of one huge vacant tower. Even if ATT only leased half of the newer tower, it would have been much easier to renovate and lease the remaining space over time. And then the historic building could have been converted to residential, for which all the windows and terraces would seem to make it ideally-suited. It may have even been eligible for historic tax credits.

I guess that explains it. I assumed they had moved all of that infrastructure to the data center building.bprop wrote: ↑Jul 11, 20211010 Pine has a central switching office, which can't be transferred to another location.urbanitas wrote: ↑Jul 10, 2021I've never found a satisfactory answer for this, but haven't really done much research:

What's the point, unless the city cleanup crew comes by every day, which they won't. The hosed-off urine n' doo is immediately replaced with fresh urine n' doo...GoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑Jul 12, 2021I walked past this tower the other day, specifically through the covered sidewalk on 10th. They need to send a cleanup crew ASAP to clean up the human doodoo all over the place. I was following a group of very disgusted tourists. So embarrassing.
So you think that the problem is that the people (to use the term loosely) who are doing this, have no place else to excrete?BellaVilla wrote: ↑Jul 14, 2021The city could also just put a couple port-a-johns out there.
The purpose of parks are to visit, but not to loiter. I don't want to get into semantics about the differentiation between the Webster definitions of visiting versus loitering. But, I will say that they weren't made for the specific purpose of giving the homeless prime real estate to just hang out.If not for loitering, what does one even do in a park?
So there are no alleys with dumpsters anywhere in the vicinity of 9th and Pine? Huh, I could have sworn I saw a few last time I was down there.
I assumed you meant shi*ing in passageways. If you'd like to argue that one passageway is better to sh* in than another, I won't stop you.urbanitas wrote: ↑Jul 26, 2021So there are no alleys with dumpsters anywhere in the vicinity of 9th and Pine?
