"Have you ever kissed a radical European deconstructivist architect, baby?"

When I first saw the plans for the new art museum, I felt a ghastly chill....it was so ridiculously 70's. Now there are moments when, parked against the backdrop of a gorgeous red and yellow sunset, that its reflective surfaces and irreverent chaos feel remarkable, beautiful.

Still not sure what my opinion is, or if I even have one on this matter. I miss the little walled-in garden where the jazz bands used to play. But time, as they say, stops for no man and I guess that applies to cities too.

At least we made the Washington Post and the LA Times.
