As part of an extensive renovation of the facade of the Travelers Tower, the plaza was also renewed. Now it has sweeps of wildflowers, a welcome bit of nature in the middle of a gritty city.
The plaza was also re-named Fishman Plaza, to honor the late Travelers CEO,
Jay Fishman, who died last year after a struggle with ALS.
I like that they have the giant umbrella out front. The wildflowers are such a good thing to see mid-city!
ReplyDeleteThe big cat sculpture from yesterday would have looked more at home among the tall grasses ☺
ReplyDeleteWildflowers are nice and colourful. We have some here around the trails. It will definitely make the area look better. I wonder if anyone uses the red umbrella as a photo prop, I know I would.
ReplyDeleteNice to see a bit of nature and, like Redpat, I like the giant umbrella out front.
ReplyDeleteCities do need a touch of green here and there. That was what the park system was suppose to be for. Good to see this plaza gets the care it needs.
ReplyDeleteA pleasant looking spot.
ReplyDeleteNature sometimes is allowed by the teaspoonful. Even a small oasis can be effective. And I too like the umbrella.
