yay! you have snow! i was plotting- i actually located someone able to ship things packed in dry ice- i planned on sending you a thermos full of snow, but they couldn't guarantee next-day delivery out of the country. this is much better. :}

[livejournal.com profile] neverletmedown got me started calling it the "Waffle Building" - until then I'd always referred to it by what it was built for, the MacBlo Building.

Vancouver is funny about renaming buildings (BTW, the "real" name the building goes by now is simply "1075 Georgia") - for example Chrysler hasn't owned the Chrysler building for decades, yet no one would think of renaming it.

Yup. Snow in Vancouver. There is maybe 2" on the ground and we're getting a "snow day". The office is closing at 1:00.

i'll always call it the macblo building too...why would they rename it??? the marine building is still the marine building and it is hardly used for the same purposes it was originally intended...i always thought of it as the waffle building too...

It always reminded me more of the cubby-holes they have in the change rooms of public swimming pools.
