As Alexander's car traversed the North District bridge, he looked out the window. Suddenly, his expression
changed tically. The calm indifference gave way to sharp indignation.
He leaned forward abruptly, pressing against the window, pointing angrily at the imposing building ahead.
“What the hell is that?”
