Open Pack of Cigarettes- Georgia Pacific Bldg. c.1991

Looking at a previous photo of The Georgia Pacific Center Building from a 45 degree angle, it looks like an open pack of cigarettes. The Georgia Pacific Building was built in the place of the Loew's Grand Theatre that had been destroyed in a fire. In 1939 the movie premiere of "Gone With The Wind" was screened there. The building is iconic and is always compelling to watch the light as the sun passes over the building throughout the day. The buidling's sheer face causes such wind turbulance at the base that on rainy days a wastebasket is often placed out for broken umbrellas.
