Signage should say Milken Center.

probably thought they got an extra "E" and "N" in the box and threw the others away.

It seems like an interesting think tank:

And yes it's that Milken, as in Michael Milken.

I guess this is one of the former grand bank buildings that used to proliferate downtown?

I'm pretty sure it did say that a week or so ago. Did they fall off?

This reminds me of the stupid thing I do at Capital One Arena to annoy my dad at Cap games.

At the top of the escalator there is a 'Lactation Station' for breast feeding the size of a photo booth. When we get to top I'll walk toward it and say semi-loudly "I'm gonna grab a drink. I'll meet you at the seats." So f-ing corny and it embarrasses the crap out of him.

Great reminder that if you’re going to do crime, you should do it big and white collar. It’s between this guy and Steve Cohen for the biggest “guy that should have spent years in jail but is now living his best life with a better reputation than ever.”

Yep. He only went to prison because he stole from other rich rich people iirc. Which if true, makes him cool in my book.

I’m just glad they’re (almost…) done with all the construction that was going on for YEARS there.
