Title: Pictorial Tour of Interior of Times Square Building
Post by: patsy6 on 07-Jan-13, 06:44:51 PM
Check out this link for an interesting tour of some architectural treasures inside the Times Square Building.  This explains the people we saw on the roof a couple of months ago.  The author and photographer kind of disses the falcons a bit,  but at least he also gives a shout out to rfalconcam.  I put a comment on the website with some information on our precious pefas.  http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2013/01/tour-rochesters-times-square-building-photos/ (http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2013/01/tour-rochesters-times-square-building-photos/)

Hey, that was cool, would love to go in there. Rich Calabrese is on our fb page....hmm. He finds all the parts that fall onto the sidewalk!  :whistle:

Check the pic with the no endangered falcons up here! Oh and the Falcons view!  :clap:

That was neat.  I should send them the pictures I took of them while they were up there.   :happy:

Beauty was around that day, but she wasn't much interested in the "intruders".  I met Pat on the bridge that afternoon.

He wouldn't have said "yeah whatever" if Beauty was territorial.  Just ask the red tail hawks ;)

I thought the Urban Explorers were the folks that break into the abandoned state hospital buildings and post to youtube.

He would have have said, "I ignored the sign and received 20 stitches to my scalp and a hefty fine."

To which my reply would have been, "yeah whatever."

Fifty high wheelmen? I guess doping in cycling was legal back then.

Must've been a fun event  ;)
One speculates that the Poutine Stands at the finish line were well patronized...

Poutine doping is now banned in all sports except curling.

I like the two spires facing Main St. atop the Wilder building.


EDIT: Now it makes sense why the corners of the building are rounded. There were spires on the corners.
