Going Under
This was the first time I had ever seen floors with negative numbers.
I wonder why they opted for this naming system instead of B1 and B2 (for basement one and basement 2) or some other scheme.
I do not think I would understand if someone told me:
“Come on by my office. I’m on the negative second floor.”
Do you have any ideas for a better way to name subterranean floors?
I’ve seen B for basement & B1 & B2 for additional subterranean floors. Also, S, S1 & S2 for sub floors. Truly. In downtown Chicago.

The B is definitely pretty standard. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen S, but I like the concept much more than the negative sign.
Thanks for stopping by and joining the conversation.
