Old School

---

I currently work in the U.S. and globally from my home office here in Bs. As., but it wasn't always that way.   I used to work for parent bank, Bank of America, on the 23rd floor of one of the tallest buildings in the city- La Torre Bank Boston.   Does anything look peculiar about this picture I snapped on lunch?

La Torre Bank Boston

Yeah, it looks like people are hanging out the windows, but only on one floor.  Maybe it's the Spiderman quintuplets just out saving the day.

Well, this is what happened.  I was just about to go on break, and I looked out over the 'Rio de la Plata" and heard a thump.   I turned to the other window and saw this...

I had already been living here for several years at that time, yet there is always another surprise just over your shoulder.   I had been expecting to see a machine come down the side of the building one day and wash the windows.  But, I was surprised to see them cleaning a modern building 'old-school'.

Here are a couple more shots from the ground.

The other day, I was reminded of this photo when I saw a modern scaffold in use on a much smaller building.   They were having difficulty figuring out how to use it, and it was the first of its kind I have seen here.   I would have snapped a photo, but you know what those look like.
