Seen & Heard: Celebrating Marriage Equality

••• Balloon Saloon really got into the marriage equality spirit yesterday! Thanks to Andrea H. for the photo. Also of note: Houseman’s weather report and Grand Banks’s flag.

Balloon Saloon gay pride by Andrea H••• Speaking of which: It was announced that the spire of 1 World Trade Center would be rainbow-colored on Sunday for Gay Pride, but they appear to have pulled the trigger early. Sometimes this city just gets it so right.

Arrojo••• When I was visiting 100 Barclay, I was naturally drawn to the views—including this one, showing all the trees that Brookfield Place has planted along the West Street side of 225 Liberty.

  1. Totally agree — the 1WTC spire last night was perfect. Loved seeing that.

  2. The salt shed looks like a squared of version of the Sydney opera house ;)
    Not thrilled with the location of either the shed nor the garage, but thrilled that the city has the will and apparently the budget to push the designs a bit beyond the usual blah blah norms

  3. I thought the trees were part of the 9A work. When they put them in a few weeks ago some of them had purple flowers and it was lovely, except that it’s still fenced off and you can’t get close enough to see what they are.
