And I think to build in New York, You're really building the best of the best. So nobody's giving New York their sort of second-rate work. And especially when a lot of those buildings were built, there was this incredible competition happening between New York and Chicago for kind of dominance of the sky. Right.

I think it's hard to look at something like the Tribune Tower and not be completely in awe. Like this is an unbelievable building. Look at those buttresses and you've got gargoyles hanging off of it. And, you know, this style was reminiscent of the cathedrals of Europe, which was very kind of in vogue in like the 1920s here in America. Actually, I mentioned the Woolworth Tower before.

It personally really resonates with me because one of the first projects I ever worked on was building Trump Chicago, which was this beautiful, elegant, super modern, all glass skyscraper right across the way. So it was right across the river. So I would look out the windows as it was under construction or be standing quite literally on rebar of the building looking out at the Tribune and
