    One time I was late to the arena and I saw him arrive by helicopter. That was pretty cool.

    Thanks Guys for verifying. I wonder if it's still there. Be a very cool apt. to have as a Blazer fan. Plus, think of all the concerts you could attend.

    There's a story I heard that some employees once saw Monica Seles walk out of the apartment in the Rose Garden only wearing Paul Allen's shirt. That was an odd relationship.

    I was on the crew that built the Rose Garden and we did not build it but we did put in the supports and framing for it. Though at the time we didn't actually know it was for an apartment. We figured it was for mechanical or performance needs. There is also a direct walkway to the area. I left that job before it was completed so i don't have any pictures. Back in 95' we didn't all have cameras on our phones in our pockets.

    I figure relationships between consenting adults are their business assuming no abuse. While Duckhook's story is amusing, sounds a bit improbable. I mean, presumably Ms. Seles was wearing something when she entered the room so it should have been available when she left.

    The best 2 years of my childhood were in Iowa. Living next to the woods, we boys built treehouses out of boards and nails the construction workers left lying around. We had 3 tree houses in one high tree. The treehouses had only about 10 boards each, but it was great to escape adults up there. It was a higher transcendental level of meditation.
