A blogger colleague who works in the Comcast Center, the tallest building in Philadelphia, has some pics of the Occupy Philly protest trying to occupy the Comcast Center. What I really want to know is who the dude is walking that beam? And what is he accomplishing by being there? How did he get up there? It’s odd that in a picture of occupiers, I’m really floored by the guy with the high wire act.
The best part that Dave notes, “Oh, by the way, I asked my coworker and he said they smelled pretty bad.” Looks like mostly they will be occupying City Hall, which I’m pretty sure probably smells bad enough from the rats that infest that building on any given day. I doubt anyone will notice. But the Comcast Center is private property, and security appears to have acted quickly.
UPDATE: Apparently the high wire act is a statue. I guess that’s why it’s not moving.
That isn’t a person on the beam. It is a statue.
Ah… that explains it. I never been in that building, so I had no idea.
Thanks for the link. If you wind up getting a job downtown let me know and I can give you a tour.
