It's also an AT&T building. It's possible that under it is a Ma Bell logo or something ancient from the long, crazy corporate history of American telecoms.

- dangus 5y agoBasically every telecom office building I've seen looks run down, in my opinion. I remember walking by the AT&T building (one with windows) in my city and noticing how it looked basically abandoned at street level despite being in active use. I think telecoms just don't spend money on stuff like that because it has no return on investment for them. They're like your neighborhood dive bar that owns the land with no plans to sell/leave/lease out space (since the building is physically attached to their product), therefore has no financial incentive to improve the building. Plus, their customers have no choice but to use them even if walking by the building makes them think negatively of the company. Nothing a half-funny commercial with an overused spokesperson can't fix! That intercom buzzer still works so there's no reason to replace it. There's no money in the budget for a nice sign, so the employee printed something out and taped it there, because that's what's in the supply cabinet.
