This past week, I was in downtown Houston on business. Prior to my meeting, I walked over to 1600 Smith St. which is the former location of CO's corporate headquarters as it was close by.

In the large foyer just inside the main entrance, the Continental Airlines name use to be emblazoned across a large granite wall. It's gone now but one can still see faint traces of the name where the oversized letters were.

It was a bit of a poignant moment.......
