visually interesting architecture
Today I am creating/uploading the web version of the UB Post...I am the Web Editor for the newspaper and this is my second issue. It is going much more smoothly than the last issue! But, there is a big section (to be seen tomorrow on newstands!) about the new student center. And my piece for sunday is on the comparison/contrast between the Univ of Michigan ann arbor campus and the Univ of Baltimore campus...I have to say that the new student center is nice. It is really cool inside, and many mornings before I go to work (at the Career Center on the 3rd floor of the new SC) I do my reading for classes. I actually took some of the photos in the newspaper this issue too and have now found some more images I can use for my comp. If you haven't had a chance to see the new building, spend some time in one of the lounges. I must say, it is nice and I am glad to have a place to go when not in classes.
It is also interesting how different the architecture of the new building is SOOOO different from everything else around it. It kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. Although Mount Vernon seems to have an older architecture, new buildings are cropping up around the neighborhood and they seem so out of place. Here is an example of another location in Mt. Vernon that is architecturally different. Enjoy.

Your pictures are exactly what I love about Mt. Vernon. It is the absolute marriage of classical and contemporary. I am enthralled by Baltimore. Many people warned me about the city and are always telling me how much they hate it. I think it is a gem both architecturally, and historically. As a port, Baltimore was so important to the growing colonies. I can only imagine the wealthy shipping magnates in their Baltimore homes. Today, they have been converted into apartments for college kids but what it must have been like to see them in their glory. I think Baltimore has a such great potential and the Student Center is gorgeous. There's nothing better than a great place to sit and get some good reading done. The quiet lounge on the second floor is priceless. I like to get there early in the morning for several hours of uninterrupted silence. That is a beautiful thing. Thank you for your photos.
