The shuttles to the concert hall and the opera house are staying idle at the Kennedy Center, but people dance on. A flock of bluebirds have thrived in a section of the river where trails are closed off to people, bright like little blue spirits.
And the popular Barcelona Wine Bar is still popular; the best dim sum place in town reopened. They are not the same as before though. The streetscape keeps evolving responding to the call of our times: it could be a new painting that makes one think of the classic Guernica, or an old motif represented in a modern style, but all fit into a harmonic whole. It is in this that I find the city’s abundant creativity. The city is always alive and inspires.
