Fun at the State Fairgrounds

 

(source) The Arizona State Fair Commission began planning for an "Arizona State Fairgrounds Exposition Center" as early as February 1960. The Commission envisioned an indoor facility which could be used during the State Fair as well as year-round. In 1964, Phoenix architect Leslie Mahoney, of the Lescher and Mahoney firm (designers of the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix among others) presented the commission with the final plans, and construction began that summer. Tucson architect Lew Place (son of University of Arizona chief campus architect Roy Place, and who later took over his father's firm) was also involved in the design. The structural engineering firm was T. Y. Lin International. The unique saddle-shaped, tension-cable roof, supporting over 1,000 precast concrete panels, was considered innovative architectural engineering at the time.

Hollywood went full-on Chinese Communist-sponsored woke last night. I love it. Never before has Hollywood been as important to us as this moment. They couldn't be helping our side any more than they are doing right now.

I refresh Youtube every few hours to see if this guy who lives in Tennessee, and who has been banned from three of his previous channels because of his frank discussion of the recent election, nd who has emerged as the start of the moment among our side, has uan pdated report on the Maricopa Recount. Are they going to shut it down (it is being held in the building in the photograph above). Even the AP is melting down over it. Wouldn't surprise any of us, I think, but I doubt it really matters. If not this way, then some other way.

Ginger took off for Utah today. After I dropped her off, she texted me that announcements were being made over the intercom of the terminal that arm jabs were available for free inside the airport. I texted her this related video that I had seen that morning in my feed.
