The Empire State Building

My favorite place in the United States is, New York City. I have visited here many times over the past few years. I want to talk about the Empire State Building for a little. The Empire State Building symbolizes the technological skill and economic strength throughout the United States. This building was built during the Great Depression and was the tallest building in the world at the time. At the time it represented a nation emerging from a low point in history. During the construction of this building five people were killed. While visiting, I learned about this important building, and I learned that someone jumped from this building. An American book keeper, Evelyn McHale jumped from the 86th observation floor in 1947. You can visit the Empire State Building at any point throughout the day/ early evening, and ride an elevator to the 86th and 102nd floor. These are observation floors and you are able to walk around the building on a platform. The views of the city from these floors are amazing. I have visited during the day and night on my many trips, but I personally love the night time views.

I took this photo while standing on the street, and I think it is such a cool picture that demonstrates the architecture of the building.
This photo was taken on a tour bus that I was on in the early evening.
This is the view from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building in New York.
