A Hidden Courtyard, Minus the Blue

The rear of The Hudson (Wilmington Street side) houses a posh courtyard area. It’s hidden from view unless you look down from upper levels of the recently constructed parking deck or from one of the high rise buildings around it. Barely visible is the blue illumination which covers the rear but no longer the front of the structure.

Fun shot! I’m not currently living there anymore, but I do have a unit for sale if anyone is interested! http://312hudson.com

I didn’t realize they had stopped turning on the lights. I didn’t even notice that they were not on the front of the building anymore. They look very cool, I think I’ll miss them.
