This is part of an office complex in Athens, GA that was built (I think) in 1972. I have some sort of fascination with this place. It represents an earlier era's vision of the future. There used to be a cinema downtown that had this same sort of appearance. In fact, I've been surprised at how many buildings around town have this kind of concrete, externally corrugated appearance. This one, however, looks particularly cool. It's a shame that it's so underused now. Only a handful of businesses in there. I wonder what it was like when it first opened. Was any commentary made about it in the local community?
