Repurposing at its finest

Once upon a time, City Museum was the 600,000 square-foot International Shoe Company. One of its finest relics is the seven-story shoots—from the 10th floor to the third—once used to shuttle shoe boxes from one floor to the next. City Museum has turned one of the shoots into a seven-story twisty slide.
It's the one furthest back (the other two would have required tetanus shots before playing). Ellie and I took a spin, as did Andy and Will.
Luckily, my shoes would do well if repurposed as brakes. ;)
