Ruby Tuesday: Door Handles

November 10, 2008 | Filed Under Colors, Doors/Doorways, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Red, Ruby Tuesday | 29 Comments

Earlier this summer, I took this photo of red door handles on a bank door. It’s in the shape of "C" — the first letter of Commerce Bank (one of the many banks in the city).

Just recently I passed by the bank and to my surprise, the door handles have been replaced, along with the name of the bank. Even the red color has changed. Now, it’s green.

Apparently some kind of business transaction occurred. Commerce Bank has now become TD Bank or something like that…

*Sigh* Sometimes, things can change so quickly in the city — from one minute to the other.

Visit WORK OF THE POET to find out how to participate in this photo blogging event and to see a list of other photos with a touch of red.
