My old company in Leeds was very close to moving to this site… Then the recession hit.
Big fan of Boston City Hall

this isn’t interesting in itself, but is interesting because of what’s happened on top of it. someone wanted to build an office building or something but there was a church in the way so they just built over the top of the church. (athens)

That’s quite a bit like the old central library in Birmingham that for most of its existence was apparently an eyesore that must be destroyed. I always liked it though.
Saw some great gigs in there
