That is wild!!! I think it would be fun to escort someone who's had a few too many drinks to this particular bathroom...

I could. I mean the host may be mad beause I stood at the edge fo the doorway and peed on the floor, but...

Thanks Brian,

I just spit half chewed almonds on the computor screen!

Bobby...I was thinking the same thing!

No Joke. The Calgary Tower has a rotating restaurant 6oo+ feet above ground, with a glass floor. One reason I won't be eating there.

Actually, this floor has a specialized medical purpose. It cures constipation.

A doctor will blindfold you, escort you in to the bathroom and direct you to have a seat. He will walk out and instruct you to take off the blindfold in 10 seconds.

No one has left there still constipated as the view will scare the "problem" out of you...

When did they convert the floor to glass? I used to eat there all the time when I worked for HBOG, AGTL/Nova, and Loram. It sure wasn't glass then. It WAS a little disconcerting to watch the pictures on the walls move as the tower swayed in the Chinook winds though.....

looks like a cure for DWI.

Within the last year, I think. They just finished renovating the tower a few weeks ago. Free access for one day, but the lines were 3 or 4 hours long. Scary part is how long ago it was, sitting in my High school classroom, watching them build the thing. It was supposed to be pretty revolutionary, at the time. Slipform, with a continous pour.

Thanks Mary,saw this one before with the conjunction of another by the same artist that did a ceiling mural in the smoking lounge of some corp.The artwork was just as good;the theme was the bereived family along with the priest throwing dirt into the grave,etc.You get the idea. Fine artist that.

Thanks for the info, Grizz. Well, when I finally return home (after my wife retires from her job here), guess I won't be "lunching" at the Calgary Tower any more. Glass floor....yuuccchhhh! Maybe back to the "Paralyser", or that little Hungarian place on NW 6th with the fabulous malt glass full of fresh-sliced strawberries & liquers for an apettizer (sp?). Glass floor?...gives me the willies just thinkin'about it.... Maybe we'll just relocate S to Nanton or out east on the prairie anyway.

Best wishes,

AC

Mary, that would stuff one.
