There are 3 things you can rely on when driving through the Orlando area*: traffic will randomly and inexplicably come to a dead stop, parts of I-4 will always be under construction, and the Majesty Building will remain unfinished.

Construction on the privately funded building began back in 2001 but was never completed. The interior is empty, there are no walls, plumbing, or even electricity. The glassy architectural effort (or lack thereof) has been given the moniker “I-4 Eyesore” by bemused locals.

Since even tourists know about it now, I suppose that makes it famous. Though I prefer to think of it as infamous. Which brings to mind a line from a favorite movie, The Three Amigos, when Ned Nederlander explains, “In-famous is when you’re MORE than famous.”

The building, and its nearby interstate, have also inspired a motivational quote, “Be like (insert one), never stop working on yourself!”

*I typically avoid driving through this area but I’m off on an adventure and needs must (more about that soon).
