You'll photograph anything
Walking back from lunch today, I ran into a huge mass of high school students on a school field trip.
Nothing strange about that.
But as they passed me, one stopped, knelt down, took out his camera, and took a picture of the Department of Labor building, a boring concrete 1960s structure with nothing to define it from any other federal agency building built at the time.
Oh well, in most of this country, a very large ball of twine counts as a tourist attraction.

He knelt down? That's cute. Still dumb, but cute.

Perhaps they are admiring the stunning horizontal lines of the *amazing* architecture that is the Frances Perkins Department of Labor Building, the only federal building with a series of freeway offramps and onramps that emerge from its bowels. Miles of corridors without windows and lots of furniture from the Carter administration. It's simply amazing. It deserves a Pritzker Prize.

You mean that place isn't just a really, really big post office?
