The Golden Dome Blog 1 Post 2 Yadira Torres

When I was little, we would go to the Asian distract to buy lbs. of fish which we would fry in our backyard and invited over family members. Even though the gesture of spending quality time with family was a lovely experience there was one thing that stood out during our drive to and back from buying the fish. The golden dome on NW 23rd street; which looks like a giant turtle shell or a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. I was mesmerized by this building as a little kid because it was the only building in that district that stood out from the rest. It had its own personality and never changed to fit in with the rests. Even to this day I go to that district and drive past it because it reminds me of the day that I decided to not be like everyone else despite looking different. That by being different I was able to shine on my own and should embrace it because people would learn to love me for those qualities. I do not recall ever having a bad experience with this building or it portray bad feelings to me. One thing that I can recall is recently learning that this building is bank; I was a little disappointed when I found this out, I expected it to be an art gallery at least.
