Still... London, ON December 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
She leaks in a bunch of places, The parking structure is crumbling. Her electrical and mechanical systems are obsolete. The city has been considering alternatives for years.
But she still makes quite the sight if you’re standing in just the right place at just the right moment. Like just before the sun says goodnight, as the shadows grow and the light reflecting off her windows shifts toward cool blue.
Which I’m going to take as a reminder to never write off old buildings. Or old anythings. Or old anyones.
We seem to have this thing with new and old, and that thing needs a rethink.
