That building is an operations center on Wall & Water. That is where the techies with names that look like eye charts hang out. It is basically half a step above a retail branch customer service center.
my russian buddies always say it is so, so easy for a woman to find a wealthy man in moscow at a hotel bar, club, etc... and they say to never have a long-distance moscovite gf, they really are ignorant/barbaric/philistine re: sex (can't name 3 STDs, "you can't catch herpes if you can't see it", etc.). the oligarchs are feeling the pinch due to the RTS crash, but other wealthy folks there don't put their money in the stock market, it's all about oil, banks, or private-shady-govt.-connected businesses there...

Bess, seriously, of all the pics, why 111 Wall Street?
Take a walk around TriBeCa - 388 Greenwich - and take a shot of the real black hole in C.

@3- b/c 388 isn't putting up barricades like there's actually something of value inside to protect?

On a totally unrelated note, poor Erin B looks like she's shivering to death on CNBC (she's - apparently - out in Red Square).
I'd keep her warm but my penis is way too small for that. And too poor.

@Risky Business
It's not just Ops there. There's so much more to 111 than just stupid Ops people. Show some respect for the rest of the tenants in the building.
There's the cafeteria.

@ 10 Only a question of time before Erin marries some very short private equity guy and punches out.

@13 I'm sure she has a list of potentials as long as my arm. I kinda feel like she'd miss the attention, though...

@16 I assume you mean a *hot* woman, and I would imagine a hot would wouldn't have too much trouble finding a wealthy man almost anywhere..
I've always wanted to go whoring round eastern europe / russia. Not just for the sex but for the act of crushing a few souls....
