I have been to this place, and I want you to know that it is even more boring than it looks in this postcard.
Beyond the fact that this building is butt &£!> ugly, who gets away with claiming their office building is "one of the most beautiful office buildings in the United States"? Is there a yearly competiion you have to enter? Do you get a plaque? Does the plaque read: One of the Most, The Most, One of the Top Ten Most? Do they have regional heats? Did it have to win in New England before it was allowed to enter the search for the most beatiful office building in the WHOLE United States?????
That's up there! A boring photo of a boring building with a boring purpose. I think the second most boring postcard I found you can barely compete with that.
I had lunch in this building! It wasn't half bad - I mean the lunch, not the building.
Dug: I must ask why.
Because the building has state offices and I had a meeting about a potential project that didn't take.
Their cafeteria is actually operated by the New England Culinary Institute.
