Hm. Maybe whoever designed the "North" and "South" towers here in CNN
Center was originally from Sohlodar! ;)
(See
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1+CNN+Center,+Atlanta,+GA+30303&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=43.664131,64.248047&ie=UTF8&ll=33.758188,-84.394419&spn=0.00281,0.003921&t=h&z=18
. The "North tower" faces Andrew Young International Blvd, while the
"South tower" faces Centennial Olympic Park Dr. Successful navigation
within the building requires realigning oneself to these faux cardinal
points, so that you know which way to go when you get off the elevator
to get to, e.g., my office on "8 Southeast".)
