h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I like what I see. :) I think Sleepless in Seattle ("http://us.imdb.com/Title?0108160") had a scene at the top of the Empire State Building, didn't it? So did An Affair to Remember ("http://us.imdb.com/Title?0050105"). The RKO film King Kong ("http://us.imdb.com/Title?0024216")in 1933 is probably the most famous though. Another good ESB site is "http://www.aviewoncities.com/nyc/empirestate.htm", it also has a link to a factfile on the World Trade Center which you could use ("http://www.aviewoncities.com/nyc/wtc.htm"). h2g2 wise, A586677 (World's Most Beautiful Buildings) makes a passing, and I mean passing, reference to the ESB, but it might be good to include it because of all the other buildings mentioned. The h2g2 entry on New York City (A199389) is another link. More Links for you to consider including are - A472394 (on architects, though might not be useful, it's also unedited); A790896 and A782264 (on Chicago, again unedited). Hope all this helps, Oberon2001

well if your going for an edited guide entry I don't think you can link unedited entries in it

Good point. All is explained at "A266131" (English usage in the edited guide), so my mistake, though you can use the links still as reference points, or include them for now, then they'll be taken out by the sub-editors.

There may be a slight change in editorial policy. My Botswana Nxai Pan National Park Entry (front page 21-Oct-2002) had a link to an unedited Okavango Entry.

PS - Thanks for the other stuff. With Lady Scott in another thread, we had three films listed:

Sleepless in Seattle
An Affair to Remember
King Kong

Clearly they are the three most memorable ESB movies.

I guess real pictures are out...but if you need me to go by the ESB for you to get any information it's not a problem...heck I can see it from where I work

Thanks.

I'm sure anything could be considered.

I'll happily put it in as collaborative ... that's where the idea came from in the first place.
