Bedlam Without Tears

According to TripAdvisor, the building I work in - the Haas-Howell Building - is the 148th most popular attraction in Atlanta. To put this in perspective, the Telephone Museum comes in at a respectable #130. The Institute of Paper and Science Technology is #67.

Before you get too excited, let me say that I believe this to be less a statement about the overall awesomeness of my building in particular and more a testament to the lack of true blue places-of-interest in Bedlam in general. Though L humorously suggests that tourists do in fact flock to the Haas-Howell Building, if only to tell friends back home they've been to the spot where Sabitathica, music school admissions and enrollment manager extraordinaire, volunteers.

And for those of you keeping score, the Haas-Howell Building was designed in late Beaux-Arts style by Neel Reid, who studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Mr. Reid also designed Emory University Hospital.
