Booker T. Washington Is Dusty and Noisy

Zac and I just returned from a hard-hat tour of the Booker T. construction site. Here’s what I can tell you about that:

Given the choice between a white or fuchsia hat, I chose the latter, which was a hit with at least one of the construction workers. Zac went with the more traditional white and did not draw comment. He and I both now have hard-hat hair.

I should be a photographer for the Morning News, because Richard Michael Pruitt and I both spotted and photographed the same stained-glass window. But my pic has the yellow Tonka construction machine thingy in the background, which I thought was a nice touch. Step it up, Pruitt.

The Winspear Opera House, seen here, will share a courtyard space with Booker T. Those kids are going to be lucky. Really, standing outside Booker T., looking around at all the construction in the Arts District, I couldn’t help but think, “Man, how cool is it going to be to go to school here?” Still, though, no football team. So there’s that.
