It was an overcast day with a brief, but furious rain storm blowing in from the northwest: Here's a recent shot of the Times-Union Performing Arts Center.  No doubt the area looks far better than the eyesore that used to be. Fifty years ago, the site was covered by wharves, warehouses, and railroad tracks.  This July 2003 photo was snapped near the top of the 23-story  Humana Building.  The sleek Acosta Bridge graces the middle of the picture, carrying motor vehicles and the Skyway monorail.  In the distance is the Fuller Warren Bridge, part of the interstate highway system.  The tall structure in the upper right hand corner is the CSX Building, and a small piece of the orange-roofed Jacksonville Landing can be seen at the lower left hand corner.
