This is the world’s largest freestanding escalator inside of the CNN center. To gain access to it, you have to purchase a ticket to the CNN Center Tour. The escalator takes you up into the globe where the tour starts. It is 196 feet in length, and takes you up about 8 stories high.

This is the globe that the escalator feeds into. It is the starting and ending point of the CNN Center Tour. It is a globe, so obviously it depicts the world map. It is a large structure, drawing everyone’s attention. It is a representation for CNN being a global media outlet.

Along the theme of CNN being a global media outlet, they also have flags hanging around the auditorium. They have way too many flags to count how many are there, but they all represent how CNN is a very global company. They are also very aesthetically pleasing, ranging from all colors and symbols.

This is the Omni Hotel that is attached to the CNN Center. It has many rooms that look out into the auditorium of the CNN Center. Aesthetically speaking, it isn’t very appealing. The only cool thing is it lights up in the evenings. It hosts many conferences throughout the year. There are 12 floors visible from the CNN Center auditorium, but there are many more in the actual hotel building that is adjacent to the CNN Center.

This is a Humvee that CNN reporters Walter Rodgers and Martin Savidge used to report the Iraq War back in 2003. It is pretty large for a car, its tan, looks very durable and gas-guzzling. It has all of the equipment baggage on top of the roof that would’ve been there when it was actually in use. They have since added tv’s that always play CNN news.
