The pink lighting is ridiculous, though. Just the fact that it exists should drop the price by at least a million.

God, yes! I often wonder what people are thinking. I don't like any of the decor. The shower is the only thing I like about the place. Seems to leave you little privacy, but I'm something of an exhibitionist anyway.

Why would you want a shower that ia also an elevator? Where are you going all wet and naked covered in suds? Some girl's unit?

Miami High Rise · April 26th, 2012, 09:20 PM

Pretty sure if you own that penthouse you dont need to take any elevator to "some girl's unit," they will come to you.

That's exactly what I was thinking

Maybe you can have a girl come to your unit AND then go down to some other girls unit for a threesome.

Somethig about the phrase "girl's unit" is disturbing.

How come you're questioning by elevator shower idea, but Porsche's car elevator didn't get this level of scrutiny? You need to think outside the box, Quantum. Think of me as the next Porsche. I promise you, in ten years, you'll wonder how you ever lived without your elevator shower. Facebook is going to buy this idea for a billion dollars.

Going up and down a buiding in a glass shower stall naked? I'd rather not, but if you're going to have an glass elevator shower, you might as well have it on the outside of the building.

Damn it, Quantum. Now Zuckerberg is going to want to buy your idea instead.

The Air Show returns to Ft. Lauderdale after a five-year hiatus. Great event for anyone who's never seen it.

Good article about 1 World Trade Center in today's New York Times. It is slated to surpass the Empire State Building in height tomorrow and become NYC's new tallest.

Figured you guys would appreciate that I mentioned Opa-Locka (and threw in a picture of city hall) on a message board centered around my old Philly neighborhood that I frequent. I'm sure they're perplexed.

Just doing my part for Ali Baba Boulevard!

PeterSmith · May 11th, 2012, 03:35 PM

Philly must be really jealous of Opa-Locka. Their City Hall is unexciting by comparison. Just some dude on top? Where are all the minarets?

PeterSmith · May 11th, 2012, 03:43 PM

Unbeknownst to all but the most particular Philadelphia historians, the original plans for city hall were designed in the style of traditional Quaker architecture, which included gold domes, towering minarets, ridiculous proportions, and countless other features reminiscent of what you build with Lego blocks that are left over after you’ve built the store-bought model.

Sad really. In another world, Philadelphia could have been Opa-Locka.

spellbound · May 11th, 2012, 11:34 PM

It's unbelievable the city still has this "William Penn" guy (whoever the hell he was) standing atop city hall despite my long campaign to replace him with Saladin the Great.

I need to get some Opa-Locka folks up here to exroll the virtues and benefits of having an Arabian Nights-themed city hall.

Soooo.....I decided to do the Art Walk yesterday. I'd been to Wynwood as a kid and then a young teen with my parents quite frequently, but not much since I moved away and came back to Miami. Got there at 7 PM with some friends, found a parking lot (10 bucks but it was safe) and headed down the block to NW 2nd Ave. We left around 11 PM, after having hit up every single gallery between 22nd and 27th Street. Also passed by the Wynwood Walls, quite interesting photo shoot that they were doing at the time:

Eventually I'll post some of the pictures up on the Wynwood thread, but I'm veggin' out watching TV today and I'm being lazy as hell lol.

PS: I've driven thru the area on other Art Walk nights and found yesterday's selection of food trucks to be smaller than previous times. I saw no more than 9 trucks in the entire neighborhood, when in the past I've seen up to 15.

Now that's what I'm taking about! These are the kinds of photos I been telling Q we need on here. Not that I don't like the skyscraper photos, but Miami is known for the hot women in bikinis. I think we should have more of these photos to promote the city. This will easily become the hottest city on the SSC website. I've posted some in the past but they got taken down.

I wouldn't exactly call it a "masterpiece" and a "lost classic" like the comments say but still:
