I split from the Ohio Street Lounge about a half hour before sunset yesterday and decided to cruise through town to see what I could see, which was a rather pointless exercise since my evil twin Stupid left the camera at home. The light was perfect: that pre-dusk, hazy glow that bathes the valley in gold. I turned from Messenger onto Horner and saw the flashing lights and orange and white barricades backlit by natures light show. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Always, always, always take your camera with you.

Anyway, I went back today, with camera, and grabbed these shots, because it won’t surprise me if the whole building is levelled by the end of the week.
