The Roxy Theater on Quadra Street.

It was the Quadra when I was youngand is one of only a few Quonset hut buildings still in service around here.

More about it’s history can be found here, especially recent changes listed in the comments section.

Fountain of Ice

We had a sustained period of cold this month.

This fountain on the legislature front lawn looks better with solid water than flowing, though there is a little bit of spouting at the top.

I guess they keep the fountains running to make sure they don’t freeze up internally with costly damage.

All three loading bays show up in this view of the back of a Federal building on Langley Street.

That curved structure in the foreground is the “Langley Street Loo” according to this reference, (which might not work on a mobile device not equipped with google maps/street view).

If you do look at that link, can any of you explain why so much space would be left open and unbuilt in the middle of floors 3, 4 and 5?

Was it too let more light into those floors without having real courtyards or atriums?
