US Bank Tower to have a Slide 1000 Feet in Air (70th Floor)

Forget about observation decks with 360 views.  The US Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles is building a glass slide that will go from the 70^th floor to the 69^th floor.  In true form, LA is breaking from the status quo and potentially starting a new trend for urban skyscrapers.

The move seems to come partly in response to plans of a rival LA skyscraper that will take the US Bank Tower’s position as the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.  The US Bank Tower’s top few floors have been undergoing a huge, multi-million dollar renovation, but the news of the slide, suspended over 1,000 feet in the air, made of glass and connecting the 70^th floor to an outdoor deck on the 69^th floor – that’s the news that has people all over the world taking notice.

More details to come soon.  Stay tuned.
