statue

Yeah, we are just going to have this huge chrome sculpture in our front yard until we decide on a spot in the amphitheater. Sure.

Chrome statue of two large human figures in front of a suburban home.

glowing

I couldn’t yet locate information about the name of this piece or the artist, but it is in the center of a little traffic circle at Park Tower condominiums on Howard Hughes Parkway. The area is one of the most rejuvenating public spaces in the core, around the corner from the Sphere.

panic

Another architectural anomaly in Las Vegas. Go figure. The building‘s official name is, prepare yourself, Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health - Las Vegas, but you can use LRCBH if you’re into the whole brevity thing. And yes, I too noticed that they left out the two C’s.

retrospect

One of the most charming information presentations I’m aware of, this measuring stick traces human civilization across time with keywords on the front and events on the back. Children learn more about history by playing with this for 20 minutes than they do in 20 days of lessons.

language

If language is funny, then character recognition is hilarious.
Okay, so it’s something like, uh…zero beasts went by road to Omega building.
Right?—No, I’ve got it: ecitto, Italian slang for an etching often offered as a party favor.
Or were you able to flip and rotate the text in your mind’s eye to read ”OFFICE”?

Office sign, reversed and transposed a quarter turn, on yellow wall.

Taken on a flight in last year, one can see most of the great desert pinball machine.

panorama

A view from the far east side of the valley looking west. Most of the Strip properties can be identified. Behind them all on the far west side, La Madre and Red Rock.

well

The way Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha said “Well.” stuck with me since I first heard it. So much happening, 3 or 4 syllables in one word. What a gem.
