For years, New York's iconic Flatiron Building sat empty after legal battles, a failed $190 million auction, and a controversial ownership dispute.

Perhaps the Flatiron could have been used as the NY Continental Hotel location, but it wasn't.

https://melodydexter.com/more/blog/radisson-blu-sydney-the-john-wick-hotel This building is in the last scene of the first Matrix movie. However, back in 1999 no one would have spotted its slight similarity with the shape of the NY Continental Hotel, because the John Wick character wasn't invented yet.

in general

This is a blog that mostly provides links to various web sites & topics. Its more like a reference directory & less of a place for a lot of personal commentary. This blog is full of data & speculation, news and entertainment from a multitude of sources. While many parts of this blog are updated, other sections might just contain a few lines of information from first posting. Some of these sections may parallel, or intersect with other parts that are not always in a linear order. Anything can be dismissed as coincidence, or perceived as synchronicity, depending upon ones level of awareness & curiosity.
