January 5 -- by the post office

.

Stuff to mail, and books to return to the library. I got dropped off at the post office.

Love the kale.

I am not really into ruffles, but on the kale?  Excellent.

Walking south along 5th Ave.  The sky!

They have filled up the AnnArborsbad Cavern with parking structure.  This used to be the parking lot we used the most, as it's adjacent to the library (which is the bulding on the right, just below the sun).  They've replaced a lovely surface lot with a nasty many-stories-underground parking structure.  Feh.

That's Tower Plaza (still the tallest building in town), and the other tall building is the one we've watched rising, with all the interesting rectangular windows, etc.  I think that's as tall as it will get.  It is more student housing.  They have built a TON of student housing in the last several years.  I wonder when they'll hit the end of the demand........

Oh my.  I hadn't realized that there is a gap between the parking structure and the surrounding land!  This gap goes all the way down to the bottom of the cavern, I think.  (The camera gleefully focused on the fence -- "Hard lines!  My favorite!", so the gap isn't in focus, but my eyes looked down to the bottom, and it's really deep.)

It looks like they may pour more concrete right next to the structure, and then I wonder if they will pack dirt into the remaining crevasse, and, if so, how..............

Ok.  Looking away from that boondoggle, back at the excellent sky.
