They've added a sign to the right of the right round building and built a small strip mall-like structure behind the left round building, but that's it. And the beige paneling on the tower is showing some wear and tear. Gary, it looks nearly identical to the postcard in real life.

I love the contrast between the tall skinny building and the short drum-shaped buildings. Does it look like this in real life? Or rather, how little does it look like this in real life?

Have you seen the movie "Suture"? One of the round buildings served as the improbable living space for Dennis Haysbert's character.

It did have a mysterious forbidding quality back then, especially the round water tower thing next to it! Liked that, and the shell-shaped church by Los Arcos, and the Logans Run-esque concrete water park near Hayden & McDowell. That article? Oy vey.

I think it's a Motorola, but I'm not sure. It's around Hayden and McDowell. It's long, glassy and profoundly space aged, in a increasingly ghetto kind of way.

Brennan Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:36:01 +0000 http://www.scrubbles.net/2007/08/14/concrete-reasoning/#comment-5991 Thanks for the link--the pictures made me homesick (and/or timesick, if that's a thing)...How long is the show running? I'd love to see that. The "Financial Center" has aways been a special favorite of mine--in fact I used it as the campaign office location for my first screenplay "The People's Choice" (yet to be filmed, but I can dream...) It occurs to me--and not in a comforting way--that many of the under-35 set who drive by that building every day have no idea that it's supposed to be a giant punchcard,or for that matter what a punchcard is.
