The Glass Slide: A Love Story Gone Wrong
Once upon a time, in a city of dreams and endless sunshine, there was a glass slide. It wasn't just any slide; it was a 45-foot-long, 1.25-inch thick piece of glass attached to the side of a skyscraper. It was basically a rollercoaster without the tracks, and it was AWESOME.

People came from far and wide to experience the thrill of sliding down the side of a building. It was like being Superman, but without the cape or the ability to fly. Unfortunately, this love story had a tragic ending. The slide is now closed. Yes, you read that right. It's gone. Poof. Vanished. Like a bad dream.
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
Where Did It Go?
The glass slide was part of the OUE Skyspace LA, a tourist attraction on the US Bank Tower. But don't get your hopes up. While the observation deck is still there, offering stunning views of the city, the slide is not. It's like your favorite ice cream shop closing down, but without the deliciousness.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
