In 1930 the Indiana Bell building was rotated 90°. Over 34 days, the 22-million-pound structure was moved 15 inch/hr… all while 600 employees still worked there. There was no interruption to gas, heat, electricity, water, sewage, or the telephone service they provided. No one inside felt it move.

RE: The rotating building in post 690. I originally thought that it rotated on its center, but now see that it rotated on one end. Still incredible.

His garden furniture is better.

What is this, the building mistakes of Hagia Sophia remade 1400 years later, Liverpudlian?

Is that leather strap suspension?

A bush that grows here and there in my home county:

Some survive long enough to become tree-sized.

People like them for the contrast between the pale green leaves and the red bark.

Hummingbirds like them for the flowers!

I spent a whole minute trying to find some image of the model in an urban context.
