You said you knew the past of film

I knew the North Washington Street Bridge was going to be demolished, but I didn't realize it had been until we were driving over the temporary substitute. It was galvanically disorienting. As traffic was going nowhere, it seemed safe to attempt to document the experience, which naturally caused traffic to begin moving again.



I am trying to figure out how to come back here on foot. It seems inconceivable that the last time really was 2018.



I had also not seen the Government Center Garage in its current state of skeletonization. Please excuse the quality of the composition; I was leaning out the window while also giving directions. I took a much worse picture as the car made a turn.



I didn't recognize this titanic twist of glass, either, but it appears to be One Congress.

I appear to possess a genuine affection for Brutalism as an architectural style, probably influenced by early exposure to City Hall Plaza and Government Center. My father just makes Soviet jokes.
