Moni, from your pictures your have some beautiful things and real nature there. I think I would like that too...but a lot is happening in Philly right now, so that makes it fun.

Sounds like there should be a New Year's Eve party in Bill's new office.

Bill, you're a Cutout Man if there ever was one. Great description of the place...Play-Doh, what a cool description of how that's created. I'll look forward to a tour of your office when you move in.

Imagine that the building was made of Play do (dough?) and you took a cube and pressed it into one side. That's what is left. Those floors have conference space and executive offices. It's way cool.

My office will be in the northeast corner of the 34th floor as of about January 1, 2008. I can't wait.

The Cutout is just a glassed-in architectural elements. I wish I'd taken a better picture. Basically, that hole up there is all glass, and there are bigtime offices and conference rooms that face the interior of the Cutout plus overlook South Philly. My sense, having not been up there (maybe Albert could fill us in), is that there are floor-to-ceiling windows and super cool offices there....you can be the king of the world up there...or at least the King of Philly (which is pretty dang close).

It's a pretty good picture. The cut out is wild.

I don't get it. Why are they leaving a "Cutout"? Is that part of the architectural detail?

Jessica, I'll bet you'll make a better pic, too. I took this one with my iPhone, which has been my camera of convenience lately. It's very limited, but great for snaps but it didn't show the glass in the Cutout.

Pretty photo! I'll have to walk by to see the cutout with my own eyes.
