One morning about 2 years ago, while cabbing it to work, I struck up casual conversation with the driver.
"I used to live in Marina City Towers. We had a balcony with a great view of the Christian Science Reading Room. In the five years that I lived there, can you believe that I never once saw anyone enter or exit that building?" he told me when we drove by the monolithic stone building. "Not once!" he incredulously exclaimed. "And I drive by it all the time now. Still haven't seen anyone. Kinda strange if you ask me."
Ever since then, I have paid careful attention to the building, about a block from my office, with its dark and shadowy entrances. And like him, I have not once seen anyone come or go.
Not once! Kinda strange if you ask me.

I've walked by that building many times myself, and I've never seen anyone go in or come out either. Weeeeeeird.
Another question to ask ourselves is this: How could a cab driver afford to live in the Marina City Towers?
You know, come to think of it, I never saw any comings or goings either...and I got a creepy feeling as I walked past.
