Starbucks is Sinking!
26 11 2007No it’s not an optical illusion, and your eyes are not deceiving you, the building pictured below is sinking! When we were in Old Town Alexandria this past week we noticed the tilt of this building which is home to one of the many Starbucks on King Street.
Though the building looks perfectly safe, all the years of flooding from the Potomac look to have taken it’s toll on this 100 year old building, and that second story window on the left was definitely not hung with a level! We love it when buildings like this, that may have seemed beyond repair only 10 years ago, are preserved! Guess it’s the crookedness that gives it character!
great post. everyone says caffeine picks you up?
try removing the wide angle lens
Didn’t use a wide angle lens at all, it was actually taken on a blackberry!
The funny thing about that starbucks is that the interior is complete water proof from the 3ft high mark.
