Walk 1.1.24

[cimorene]

It was REALLY cold today so we decided to just walk down past the Local Ugliest Building that's being built near here. I was thinking we'd take some more pictures, but actually it was SO cold that I didn't want to take off my fur mittens the whole time, or really to stop walking for very long. Here's a couple of pictures from yesterday instead: I noticed Wax had gotten a picture where you can see my ugly snowboots. And my long down coat is actually quite funny. (I had the hood up most of the time today, unlike yesterday.)



I do have some pictures of today's route and the Ugliest Building from when I walked the same way last Wednesday, when it was much warmer. The first one is the gate and wellhouse of the local history museum; the second is the Ugliest Building (in progress).

No windows at all on that ugly building? Is it a power plant?

There are some apparently on the sketch of the finished design, but only really low on the front. It's the city's sports and youth center. So it's free hangouts for youths and reservable sports halls and a lecture room where they show movies once a month.

Well, I can see that gyms mostly don't have natural light, especially in places with extreme weather. And kids do need places to hang out and be loud. So I guess I'm less annoyed.

The building it is replacing has quite limited narrow windows high up, and it looks like they might be doing similar ones here. The old building wasn't just black panels on the outside though, so that part is definitely open to criticism.
