A new building went up overnight at the corner of 35th and Corner Street. I don’t mean it seemed like overnight because it was a quick schedule. There literally was not a building there yesterday when I went home, but today there is.
Architect James C. Protel walks out of the new building. He looks at the sky as if adjusting the square in his head while watching to see that it actually moves. A passerby looks at him as he walks with his neck cocked all the way back and says, “How did you do this?” Protel does not answer, only walks back to the job trailer and says he needs another day.
