Who among you have heard of a city in the United States called Richmond, Virginia? For what seems like mysterious reasons now, I remember this city as a 21st century marvel--at least, that is how I saw it at the age of 7 in 1968. To keep a long story short, I was a little kid in the back seat of my parent's car. We were riding along a freeway in Richmond, on the way to Washington, D.C. Now that was the first and last time I ever visited (or passed through) Richmond. But what I remember seeing through the window were towering skyscrapers along the edge of the highway. It made a lasting impression on me.
Fast-forward and I'm really in the 21st century now. Almost like the kid I was then, I am mesmerized by all the incredible and incredibly tall buildings coming up in Dubai. To that I've penned my latest post in A Word A Day entitled simply, Buildings.
BTW: Are those buildings in Richmond all that great, actually?
