Remember all the posts about the roof over the Guelaguezta Auditorium? First, it was started by URO's administration without any or very little public input. Then, just to stick it to the new administration, they stopped work and abandoned the site. Then, the materials were found to be substandard and had to be removed. The job was rebid. Then completed. Then important people thought it was an eyesore because it could be seen from everywhere and they felt it was not in keeping with the culture of the city. Then it became a viable venue for events.
And then.... a really big wind came and blew a couple of sections of the covering off. I am talkin' a serious wind, but not that unusual for here.
This shot is from across the valley near Huayapam.
This one is up close and personal. The coverings landed just off to the side. Now what? Time for a rebuild, I guess. The new company has guaranteed the work and so they will be back at it. The guelaguetza is still months away, but other events have been cancelled or moved. The government says the guelaguetza will happen "with or without the roof."
