Our day job (hard as it is to believe, our efforts here at Cladrite Radio are not sufficiently rewarding as to allow us to avoid holding down a bill-paying gig) is in an office building a mere stone’s throw from the Empire State Building, our favorite NYC skyscraper (it’s a tie, actually, between the ESB and the Chrysler Building, depending upon which day you ask us).
So we thought it appropriate we share with you this snippet of video that documents—one might even say celebrates—the men (it was just men in those days) who kept that beloved structure’s hundreds of windows clean back in the late 1930s. A daunting task, we’re certain you’ll agree, and not one suited to the faint of heart.
