the westin

a year and a half after the tornado, they have finally begun reglazing the peachtree plaza, starting at the top --- i had heard it would be a bronze glass, but it doesn't look that way --- more like just a darker, less reflective glass --- it'll kinda ruin the disco-ball look, but it can still be mocked for its erectilinearity

meanwhile the equitable building, the owners of which went bankrupt earlier this year, remains surrounded by scaffold, and the missing metal from the cornices on the flatiron and the carnegie building have never been repaired

and as it does from time to time, the cattlyea is blooming --- the color is the best, rivaled only perhaps by that intense delphinium blue
