Entire State Building (Kroy Wen)

Historians have never satisfactorily explained why this building is known as the "Entire State Building." In fact, to my knowledge they have never even considered the issue. To fill this much-needed gap in our state's proud history, pseudo-historians have speculated that to alleviate the great sense of depression that he felt coming on, former governor Alfred Smith may have joined forces with the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb and Harmon to create a building that would house and employ the entire state in the 1930's.

Alas, this noble dream was doomed to failure. The Entire State Building employed only 3,400 workers during its construction (out of a population of approx. 13,000,000 at the time).

Even now, the space appears to be underutilized, with a mere 21,000 transients occupying approximately 2,768,591 square feet on a part-time basis.

Rumor has it that these 21,000 transients host a truly staggering number of paying guests every day - apparently entertaining dozens at a time on an hourly basis, many of them getting quite high in the process - but it would be more proper and respectful, I believe, not to dwell on such regrettable activities.
