Today, I went to apply for a permit for the planned pool project. Fingers crossed that all goes well, but I was reminded of two things: (1) Permits are expensive ($475 so far…) and (2) Concord has a really nice Civic Center and Main Library.

Built in 1966 (Civic Center) and 1959 (Library), it's a pastoral example of mid-century goodness, complete with some weird modern metal sculpture and fountains. Given that I was applying for a pool permit, the fountains really drew my eye.
Not that I want to hang out there any more than necessary, it was otherwise quite nice.
