I have always had a soft spot in my skull for parking lots, this reminded me. This one's bleak but I like it.

From 1921 to 1926 it was the TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN ALL MISSOURI, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. by Tim Kiser

From 1921 to 1926 it was the TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN ALL MISSOURI, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

I guess the people back then were huge fans of gray limestone? They wanted 21 stories' worth!

-----------------------

In downtown Kansas City, Missouri, on March 27th, 2022, the former Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (built 1920-1921; designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White; vacated by the Federal Reserve in 2008; later known as 925 Grand; 07000327 on the National Register of Historic Places) at the northeast corner of East 10th Street and Grand Boulevard, as viewed from the southeast corner of 11th and Grand.

Per the above-linked document, the building is clad in Bedford limestone, a/k/a Indiana limestone, which is known geologically as the Salem Limestone formation of the Sanders group, formed during the Viséan age of the Mississippian subperiod of the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era, ~346.7 to ~330.9 million years ago.

Green Anole & Autumn Clematis

This flowering vine blooms in the fall and attracts a lot of pollinators. I was looking for pollinators but found an anole instead. Most likely the lizard was also looking for pollinators but for a different reason.

At a green-and-orange cashmachinc.com ATM/non-ATM thing.

Per Google Streetview, this awful thing was installed no earlier than April 2018 (i.e., it predates this picture by no more than a year). Weird!

Yea, as of April 2018 the fence extended all the way over to the wall.

"Please keep door closed when not in use, por favor mantenga la puerta cerrada cuando no esté en uso" reads the little door.

Joyously leaping celebrant of parking, in a towne. In this case the towne is Denver.

Brown arms and light blue legs and head. I use all four of my credit cards to pay and pay, $16 again and again. If I had been the sign designer, I would have placed a credit card logo at the ends of each of the leaping person's extremities.

Why is the simplified illustration of the leaping person shown a second time, small, in the upper left? Foggy evening this evening huh.

Guess the year it was built! Answer: 2014. You probably guessed wrong. by Tim Kiser

Guess the year it was built! Answer: 2014. You probably guessed wrong.

This is good and surprising because in the U.S. it is unusual to see a newly-constructed commercial building that doesn't at least somewhat resemble a CVS.

By August 2016 the new building was occupied by a raspados shop, Nieves y Raspados "Yami."

-----------------------

In South Tucson, Arizona, on October 10th, 2015, at the northwest corner of South 4th Avenue and East 30th Street. The source for my assertion that the building's erection year is 2014 is the website of the Pima County Assessor.

Male Green Anole

Even though its name is green anole, it can turn a variety of colors from green, yellow, tan and brown. More having to do with its emotions and stage of anxiety than trying to blend in. This one was fairly relaxed. On wrought iron fencing along the spillway parking lot.
