Near the warehouse district is a state office building (The Hobby Building). There is this strange fountain there. I can't decide if it is pleasant or looks like Soviet architecture. While it vaguely reminds me of some soulless public areas in apartment sprawls that I saw in Russia and East Berlin, if it were there the pond would be empty and the concrete cracked. Plus the relentless geometry ends up working somehow here. And it is well-maintained with allegedly free market tax dollars.
