The 500 N Workout
Saturday, May 24, 2008
The fine folks at 500 N treated my real estate forum to a fantastic lunch catered by Il Fornaio last week on the 14th floor of the Downtown Sacramento condos at 500 N Street. Fantastic food, great views (from our vista we could watch work being done on Tsakopoulos' 500 Capitol Mall project, plus views of the Capitol, Tower Bridge, CalEPA building, Federal Courthouse, Renaissance Towere aka the "Darth Vader Building", 12th & K's "Ban Roll-on" building, and what will be a beautifully lighted US BankTower at 621 Capitol Mall), and... The elevators went out.
When we arrived, one elevator was being replaced but the other was working just fine. No problem getting up to the 14th Floor whatsoever. But 15 minutes later we got word that the other elevator was, well, being fickle—which is a nice way of saying we wouldn't be taking the elevator back down. We could've waited six weeks for replacement of the other elevator, and both rappelling and parachute-assisted basejumping were out since none of us had thought to bring gear.
Nothing left to do but take the stairs down 14 floors. The good news is that it was a beautiful day (the weather hadn't gotten windy and gray yet and the 100-plus heat had passed) and the stairs were on the outside of the west side of the building.
And thus the 500 N Workout was born.
Man, Annie at 500 N is gonna kill me if she reads this. (Sorry, Annie!)
