Upstairs Downtown

I've been gushing over the fabulous architectural details of the old Florentine Building ( 1926) on 21st Street for 7 years. The upstairs has finally been renovated as a new event venue, for which our city is so gratelful.  There was a grand opening event last night. How wonderful to see the lights on upstairs after so many decades!  I took this shot as I was leaving. Another landmark saved.

Revolving

Well if you're like me the day after Christmas, you're tired of the party food and decorations, and ready for some barbeque and bluejeans ( if they still fit). So let's move on from Christmas photos, OK? How about this shiny revolving door at the Regions Harbert Plaza in downtown Birmingham? That late afternoon sun made it come to life!
