More (And Almost) Less Of Hollywood

The Chrysler Building in NYC was my favorite building in that city. The Capitol Records Building is my favorite one in LA. and not just because it's a few blocks from my house. Read below for the Internet's description, things I didn't even know and I KNOW EVERYTHING.

Opened in 1956, this 13-story tower, just north of the legendary intersection of Hollywood and Vine, is one of the city's most recognizable buildings. The world's first circular office building is often, but incorrectly, said to have been made to resemble a stack of 45s under a turntable stylus (it kinda does, though). Nat "King" Cole, songwriter Johnny Mercer, and other 1950s Capitol artists populate a giant exterior mural. Look down and you'll see the sidewalk stars of Capitol's recording artists (including John Lennon). In the lobby, numerous gold albums are on display.

A few years ago they wanted to turn the building into CONDOS. Thankfully the Landmarks Commissions stepped in and the idea was permanently scrapped. CONDOS?

What is WRONG with people?

End of chat.
