More to report on The Sphere, but here are my initial thoughts.

John Hancock Building, New Orleans, LA. K&B Plaza (on the National Register of Historic Places as the John Hancock Building), was designed in 1962 by the nationally renowned architecture firm Skidmore Owings & Merril. The building was designed in the Modern style prevalent to the period, but the architects did something interesting to adapt the building to the local New Orleans climate. Over the exterior glass curtain walls, they wrapped the sides of the building with a concrete grid acting as a brise-soleil. A brise-soleil is an architectural feature that reduces heat gain inside a building by deflecting sunlight before it reaches the glass on the windows.  This allowed the building to have large floor-to-ceiling windows while also reducing the amount of energy required to keep it cool.K&B Plaza is still in use as an office building. The lobby and office corridors, which are free and open to the public, serve as an art gallery lined with amazing original pieces from Sydney Besthoff's collection.  The contemporary art collection is one of the best in the city and includes a sculptural fountain by Isamu Noguchi on the plaza outside.

When you're a procrastinator and too late to catch the comet with your naked eye, but you turn around and see October's super moon.

PS: the bottle's looking a little rough. I imagine the cost of a rehab is pretty steep which is why the business hasn't spruced it up.
