You can actually "drive" around this tower in Street View - there's NO GRAFFITI! Finland must have a different attitude about such things than Italy, where every square inch of Rome is covered in spray paint.

Well, well, well! Props to the Waco Kidd... I hear the VG will be flying you to the South of France for an all-expenses paid extravaganza... Oh... Wait, I was watching Wheel of Fortune.

None the less, an outstanding achievement for VG and Mr. W.K.

No, it doesn't actually exist. Read the link, it's an anomaly that has made it onto a number of maps. People have gone out and varified that there is no island there.

I saw this from the air while flying out of Sacramento this morning. It's clearly an abandoned dirt track, there are some paved roads and evidence of buildings and parking that are no longer there. I could find nothing "on-line" about it, though.

20 Exchange Place

Originally the fourth tallest building in New York, 20 Exchange was built in 1930-31 as the headquarters for National City Bank of NY and the Farmer’s Loan and Trust Company, a predecessor of CitiGroup. Though it today consists of office space and luxury apartments, the original marble bank still exists (now vacant), and has been featured in dozens of film shoots, most notably, Inside Man.
