Travelers with a thirst for adventurous architecture and personal introspection would do well to visit the Kurlow-Lynnis Building in the Parkland West section of the city. The most fascinating aspects of this marvel of postmodern design are its famous Grand Leap atrium, the sweeping avant-garde mural ("Call to a Generation", by Greta Young), and its structural reliability on the sexual memories of all that pass through its entrance.
Design and construction for the K-L was financed by the Lynnis Group, at the behest of its founder's great-granddaughter, Beatrice Thromwell-Lynnis, whose great fortune was only matched by her endearingly endless sexual appetite. Lovably eccentric and often under the influence of cranberry eau de vie, her only request was that the building share her family name along with that of Higston Kurlow, the man to whom she had entrusted her virginity. In her final years, she reconnected with Kurlow and met her unfortunate end at the hands of his mistress, the actress Glyda Booti.
For much of its 75-year history, the K-L has enjoyed aesthetic praise and heavy tourism. It has been featured several times in publications ranging from Zeniths in Architecture and Telekinetic Monthly. However in times of mass sexual repression, such as the Great Chaste Divining, the Kurlow-Lynnis has been known to lay in ruins.
