High school senior portrait photographers, I have scouted a perfect location: Your clients can grasp the vertical posts while resting their rear ends on the balcony railings in high-waisted acid wash jeans with pleats.

It's not actually obelisk-shaped because it does not taper upward. It is a postmodern reference to the idea of an obelisk. The postmodern architects of their era thought we'd all be delighted by such references.

They also expected we'd be inspired to greatness by the red pigment the builders stirred into selected batches of concrete.

I'd like to see your face poking thru the square-shaped openings at the top of the stairwell: Both openings at the same time, an expression of surrealism and absurdity.

Yea it is a city-owned parking garage. The city is St. Joseph, Missouri.

I HAVE DECIDED that the parking garage is from the 1970s, on this basis: A different parking garage, also city-owned, a couple of blocks away, has a nearly identical architectural style, and this 1976 document says it was under construction at that time. Voilá, the 1970s.

Do you see the triangles in the truncated semicircles up top? With the little circles above them, below the overhanging hip roof? The two beiges and the black rectangles and the red trim? This is really wonderful.
