Skip's Ship View

Being on the west side of the building is the constant lament of the gals who work in Non-Apparel because instead of the sparkling water and bridge views enjoyed by the east-side girls, we delight in the Spear street parking lot and some screaming children from the day care center. It was such an unfortunate fate...until now.

While building a condo development in a lot outside of our offices (did I mention the construction site view as well?), the team of observant workers discovered the exo-skeleton of a ship dating back to 1849 when the area used to be a small cove and at a time when San Francisco was erupting with people searching for gold and liberal sympathy. Just kidding.

Nonetheless, being rather impressed by all things archaeological, I'm now quite content with my luck of location.
