Steps Two Through Five

Another view of the stairs from yesterday’s post. I am not sure why they’ve been numbered during construction, but I liked it.

Grand Staircase (and scaffolding)

A view of the grand lobby of the under-construction Buddy Holly Hall, including the helical staircase.

Zombie Holly

Lubbock, Buddy Holly’s hometown, is getting a fancy new performing arts center. I was there last week for a tour and saw this, uh, portrait of Buddy drawn on some gyp board. I decided to name it Zombie Holly.

And, when the facility opens later this year, I am going to have fun looking at the donors’ wall knowing that Zombie Buddy is under there….

You’d be surprised (maybe) at how much traffic noise a simple fountain can cancel. This place was right on the corner of two busy streets and the water falling from that ledge into a basin make it all just go away. Plus, what an excellent way to reuse shipping containers! (Now I want one of these in my front yard to cancel out sounds of the motorcycle people across the street who seem to get home about 2:00 every morning…)

All day, every day

Here’s an example of how simple building materials, and a few plants, can be lovely.
