The beautiful old Music Hall. Note the trolley tracks on the road, now tarred over. No street car clangs down past the Hall, anymore.
The P&G Headquarters. Still hanging on, a ghost from another era. When the town was prosperous. Its still very beautiful and is also has several different initiatives to come out of the funk. Including our good friend Sanyog and his wife Carrie. Sanyog is, in his own entrepreuneurial way, contributing to the revitalization of his neighborhood and of the whole town.
Zaha Hadid's contemporary art center. Was closed, but looked quite nice in from the outside. Tries, with mixed success, to engage with its surroundings.
Pelli's concert center. Had seen this in drawings and models while I was in his office. The usual, post-modern, Pelli style. But with a nice and comfortable fit into its surroundings. 
Burnt out, torn down and not re-built. What much of the city looks like.
