Empire State Building.

It went up in 18 months, which is incredible.

But it was a financial failure/ It opens in 1931; five years later
floors 41 through 80 are all still empty. Would have gone bankrupt in
1936, but the lender saw no point in foreclosing. didn't want to take
over a losing pproposition. They renegotiated the loan and interest.

So you can see how DOC had so many gadgets and things -- they weren't
going to saw no the the major rentpayer.

Very elevating topic. It floored me. You may have your ups and downs
but nonetheless you're a cool operator. You hit it right on the button
and that's the lease I could say.

And it was built without the use of a computer. Slide rules and
ingenuity...
