    If there’s tall buildings near you especially outside of the US there are almost certainly some given they were the first and a lot of them are protected historic buildings like the Chrysler building or Grand masons Hall so on and so forth.

    Around here would be new york given the context, around you means… Around you. So maybe you should be more clear instead of being “14 and edgy”.

      “Around here” is in the vicinity of the speaker

      “Around there” is in the vicinity of the subject

      It’s an error of one letter, neither of you have to be jerks about it

        Nope, gotta change the context or subject for around here to mean the speaker. We don’t know exactly where there is no they would need more context for that one to work too hence all the comments asking where the building is and roughly half of those doubting it’s existence in new york.

        I live in x there’s no 25 story brick buildings around here. Would be the speaker.

        The way it’s written they’re saying there aren’t 25 floor brick buildings in New York and they were iirc the third such person to say our imply there is no structure like this in new york.
