Construction began on Orlando's Majesty building 21 years ago this month. Tides have come in, tides have gone out, seasons have changed and still the visibly unfinished skyscraper along the interstate stands as a monument to procrastination.
In that time, we've had four presidents. The longest war in American history took place in its entirety. Grant Hill and Tracy McGrady were wearing Orlando Magic pinstripes when the building broke ground. Current chart-toppers Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo were not yet born. And yet it remains unfinished.
While we've had yet another promise that the building will be finished (this time in 2023), we're not holding our breath. The building perseveres by...well, being a building. Us flesh and blood Orlandoans have to get by on jokes.
