Despite the title, this location is far from New York City. In the deep south, a road trip lead me to an [long-since] abandoned hotel in Birmingham. It is both the oldest and tallest building I've visited. 21 stories up and 80 years back in time, it was an experience like none other. The whole time, I couldn't get smooth voice of Leonard Cohen singing 'Chelsea Hotel no. 2' out of my head.
This is not the Chelsea Hotel. But, someday when New York City has been deserted I will make it my home.
"I don't mean to suggest I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin."
