David I usually stop by the foundation about once a week on the way to the bankruptcy trustee's office for meetings on clients cases. currently the layout they have of the city is still fascinating to look at (even after seeing it over 20 times)

Thank you! I agree, I come into this building every day for work and the exhibition still captivates me too. Our exhibitions department does a great job keeping the model up to date with the newest buildings and projects. And soon we're adding new features such as an audio tour...so you'll have to stop by after a meeting and try it out!
