Going over the edge in Dallas

If you find yourself in Dallas next year, be sure to check out Hotel Elan, a five-star boutique hotel to be completed next year. At the moment, it’s a regular old bank. But what’s so special about the building is it’s the only structure in the world with a hanging pool, draping eight feet over the edge of the skyscraper. It’s on the 10th floor.

Several people pointed out
that it looks like a scene from the computer game, “The Sims.” That’s a humorous interpretation, especially since in that game, you can remove the ladders from the virtual swimming pool, and as a result, your avatar will eventually drown. Ouch.
