We were there sometime between 1994-96. I guess the price has gone up. It was $4 in 1999. Now if you want to get all the way up to 102 it's $44. We got up to 102 for nothing extra, and the twins who were with us (yup, two sets of twins together in that tiny elevator) convinced the elevator operator to stop in between 86 and 102 to show us the inside of the spire. Nothing but a lot of glass, colored fluorescent lamps, and clear metal grid flooring. Fun times. I'll post a photo someday when I scan that roll. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
