Oh Alice, you should put together a coffee table book on the fascinating architectural buildings in the city you know so well. I really appreciate the information you ass as well - amazing detail and I do like the color of the hedge in front.

This is really ornate! I hope you try again when the light is a bit better so you can get the top, too. I really want to see every last bit of detail :)

OMG, there's tons of this kind of thing in San Diego, to the point where I don't even realize that it's odd anymore...

Although I also prefer your uncropped version I can see what you are trying to achieve. I don̢۪t think I̢۪ve ever been in a building with an external fire escape but I̢۪ve seen them in the movies all the time (seems to be a popular place for a gun fight). I do like the pastel colour and the cross pattern made by the balcony.

Very clean looking, Alice. If you look at the entire column of balconies, it looks like the back of a spiral notebook :)

The decorator touch of lavender paint for the window trim is an unexpected treat. You're getting some very nice light, & the lens you are using seems perfect for the task. The images are so clear & sharp without looking like you had to do any work to get them so. I admire the task you have set yourself, as I once had a similar ambition when I lived in Albuquerque. It's such a unique city I thought getting some comps that could only be taken in that city would be easy. All I got was touristy schmaltz of adobe, etc & gave up almost immediately. Anyway, I am enjoying this very much!

How much is the apartment where George Jetson used to live? "D But srsly, this bldg has a strange beauty not often seen in apartment towers, or maybe that's due to the lack of clutter usually associated w/apartment balconies. It looks a little Mediterranean or that might be the sky combined w/the white facade. I am enjoying the vicarious drive-by tour you are giving us, Alice, thank you!

Seems like a building design you would see in the 60's. Your description confirms that. Somehow, they still seem very stylish though!
