Goodbye to a familiar texture

I posted this photo, the result of a Photo Club exercise at work, back in August 2006. Less than an hour later, Jason had already guessed the correct location: the bank on 4th and Rosser. Well, the familiar exterior of the bank is changing.

These workers are taking down that familiar jagged exterior and replacing it with some of those new blue-tinted mirrored windows. Jagged panels: old and busted. Blue mirrored: new hotness.

I’m sure they probably figured it was about time, and the new windows are probably more energy efficient, and the bank across the street is remodeling too. But it is sad to see familiar sights around Bismarck go away. That’s the price of progress, I suppose.
