Twice a year, the sun aligns with MIT's "Infinite Corridor" in an event dubbed "MIThenge".

Cool! Years ago I was in NY during the solstice.

This feels like walking down this corridor in damp flip flops with a pool towel wrapped around me and my fingers pruney from swimming.

The place? I really don’t remember, but I think it’s the Reine Elizabeth in Montreal.
