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.

Ah! The Bellringers have to walk right past One Congress on Sundays when we go from one church to the other for service ringing, so we have been watching it go up with great interest. There is one broken window that shattered very early on and has been taped up with a big x --they'd yet to have fixed it even just a few weeks ago.

Neat! I had not been on New Chardon Street in some time and therefore it might as well have been dropped into place ten seconds before I saw it.
