RIP John Portman

Architect responsible for much of the look of downtown Atlanta, including the Westin Peachtree, at one time the world's tallest hotel. He also designed the building I'm in, originally called the Inforum and built as a technology convention and expo center connected the the Atlanta Apparel Mart, which still hosts frequent gatherings of buyers for retail outlets. About 10 years ago, the American Cancer Society moved its national offices to our building and it's now called the American Cancer Society Center. We've been in the building for nearly 25 years.

Age 93.
