A mini skyscraper

Look at all the stuff you can find on Twitter

You’re looking at the worlds littlest skyscraper.

It’s unassuming, but the story behind it is incredible.

Here’s oil reserves in Wichita and a conman produced the most embarrassing skyscraper in the world. pic.twitter.com/zTPVPuBjs5

New York’s Chrysler Building was completed in 1930.

I've only just discovered that the Chrysler Building once had a 71st floor, German Expressionism-esque observation deck called 'The Celestial' which was shut in 1945. pic.twitter.com/EcAyZqHmHt

Twitter and YouTube posts on the Flatiron Building

The Flatiron Building in Manhattan is a uniquely-shaped structure in Manhattan that was recently sold.

The Flatiron Building has remained almost completely vacant for four years. Last week, a little-known buyer won an auction for the structure and then went off the radar, failing to pay the $19 million deposit. Now, the famous building's fate is uncertain.https://t.co/19JNZ1HtGJ

A man named Jacob Garlick bought the Flatiron Building at a public auction last week. This week he just… didn’t make the downpayment for it. This situation is the funniest thing in the world to me right now. Jacob why did you do that!!!!! https://t.co/Tyo06Bn3KQ

From nifty historic re-use plan to half-demolished eyesore -the now-stalled Hendler project could have meant decent mid-priced housing & uplift for E. #Baltimore's Jonestown, but neighbors say politically-connected developer overreached https://t.co/fdEddgwFrB pic.twitter.com/gDQS0uXGGG
— Baltimore Brew (@BaltimoreBrew) June 23, 2019

Instead of saving this 133-year-old landmark, a developer with a redevelopment plan that fizzled has left it roofless and in line for demolition. https://t.co/bR45NoFA4d Critics decrying the state of historic preservation in Baltimore say the Hendler Creamery saga is Exhibit A. pic.twitter.com/UB1TOTPBR5

The Astrodome

The Astrodome was the first domed sports stadium. It is not the home of major teams anymore but it’s still standing. Hurricane Katrina evacuees were housed there. Its future is uncertain.

An iconic image by Neil Leifer of Sports Illustrated. His remote-control camera in the rafters of the Astrodome captured Muhammad Ali, his arms raised in victory, walking away from a supine Cleveland Williams during their fight on Nov. 14, 1966. pic.twitter.com/d8AZDLjsjp

Here are some images taken of the Astrodome on this day back on 3/3/65. The Dome was just over a month away from opening. Look to the left of the interior view and you can see the glare issue with the skylights, which were clear at the time.@houstoncitybeat pic.twitter.com/z1OsUh7YFw

Tweets on Cincinnati Union Terminal

The building looked great in the tweet so I looked for more stuff.

Jerry Springer recorded a protest song in 1973 called “Save the Union Terminal” when there were plans to demolish the station. He later served as mayor of Cincinnati. https://t.co/8YoIiYAs2C https://t.co/bmdrdOAopA
