The Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center is nearly finished. It’s scheduled to open this Thursday, November 6th. I hope my wife and I can at least attend some of the opening festivities. I’d surely like to photograph the grand opening. Of all the events that have happened in this city this to me is probably the most positive, if not the most significant.

I had wanted to track the progress of this construction project a lot more closely than I did. Unfortunately, life got in the way, such as my left knee replacement late 2012 and my layoff mid-2013. My life has certainly been busy this past few years. What follows are a few of the moments I did capture since I started to pay attention around four years ago.
