TGIF: Weather / Complex To Simple


 

Snow: a four letter day to end the work week.  The coming weekend promises to be more of the same.

Yup - have been forecasted to receive as much as 6 inches.  The was a time when enjoyed the Winter weather.  However, that ship has sailed.  These days, Winter implies inside with heat, coffee and Paisley sleeping nearby.

In traveling about the Midwest discovered commercial buildings process an added architectural detail . A detail not intended by the architect but one added by the buildings owner.

While the store front street level locations may or may not be occupied, the upper level windows are boarded. 

   Rushville, Indiana.

Certainly, architects intended for the upper lever occupants to have access to available views and light.

Presently, there seems to be a shortage of  commercial ventures needing that sort of space.

Therefore the owners, to reduce costs, have simply closed off the areas.  The building has morphed from Complex To Simple.
