Remembering the Penthouse


I dug deep into my archives for this post.  Back in 2010, I was working for someone who owned a condo in the One Lexington high-rise building on Central Avenue in Phoenix.  The building had recently been converted to condos from an office building.  My employer obtained permission to hold a political fund-raising event in the penthouse apartment.  The apartment had been scheduled to be the grand prize in the Health & Wealth raffle supporting the Barrow Neurological Foundation.


I attended with my trusty camera in hand to take a few photos for the official event.  But in addition to the clusters of people talking to elected officials, I took a few photos just for me.


It was a two-story condo so I could get some interesting shots from the second floor looking down.  I managed to snap a photo of those nicely arranged trays of snacks before the guests attacked them.


The dining table also looked good from above.  I can see a theme of dots and circles and orbs going on with that decor.

I never did hear who won the penthouse in that raffle.  Back in 2010, I did post one photo from that night on my blog.  It was a night time scene looking out over the city from the fabulous roof-top patio.

  5. I could see the patio through the window in your first pic and it looked wonderful and what a view it had! It was interesting reading the comments on your old post and seeing people we no longer hear from because they have quit blogging or passed away.
