Yesterday some friends and I took pictures of the Concordia University campus before they tear it down this summer to make way for some massive development. It was a little strange that the place was already abandoned and sort of wrecked even though classes had just ended a few days ago. I guess everyone just gave up on the place as soon as they decided to move the school up to a much nicer facility up north.
To be honest, the place looks like it was always kind of a dump, underfunded, unloved, and architecturally unexceptional. The only thing I really hope they save there are the trees. There are some massive live oaks there that it would be a crime not to incorporate into whatever urban-infill condo hell they're planning over there.
Anyway, I took some pictures of it, but not as many as I'd planned. Mostly it was just nice to be out playing with everyone. Dan was probably able to squeeze out more interest out of the place that I was because he has that kind of eye.
Other weekend highlights: Hail! That's the third hailstorm we've had this year. No damage except the pointies got a little bruised. Also breakfast tacos, beer, and a tentative but enthusiastic plan to take a zip line canopy tour. You can even opt to get dropped into a nice, refreshing lake at the end. I feel it is my moral obligation to try this out.
