We have a skyscraper here in my town (Louisville, KY, USA) which
actually does not have a 13th floor. It kind of exists, but it has no
windows, no elevator stops, no public access. Basically an unused empty
floor where no one is allowed to go. Considering it's in a very high
priced office district, it's a very high priced bit if superstition!
