Reminds me of where my dad worked, somewhere on 35th off 8th. He worked for some 30 years for a company that supplied dresses for clothing stores in the midwest. And even tho he was a manager, I was so depressed when I visited his "office" once in the 60s .. a beat up old desk on a warehouse floor covered in papers, dust, magazines, and a dirty old fashioned telephone.

But, the stories he would tell ....

The colors in your photo pretty much reflect the patina of that era.

Well captured.

I love it too. Maybe just because it means so much to you. Love you my friend.

Days of yore. Not exactly a bright sun face to enter at 8 a.m., but character, oh yes.

I just would like to send a message to biebkriebels, who lost her pet: I am so sad, I visit your blog every evening, I always smiled when I saw his "snuitje". I cannot place a message on your own blog.

This blog is really nice, by the way!

looloo

Oooh yeah, lots of photo ops there! I'd love to walk around there too. As I was scrolling down, the buildings just kept going and going - quite tall!

Full of character

I can't believe an iphone can take this kind of high quality shot. As another commenter said, the colors are perfect.

And the Hiker's comment cracked me up.
