A courtyard stood outside the Chronicle Apartments. It was a private area, open to the public.

A fountain stood in the center of the courtyard. In the center of the fountain was a modern sculpture that lacked any sign to identify the artist.

Outdoor seating suitable for the summer, but unsuitable for rain or snow.

A large bronze statue occupied the center of the fountain. Sadly there was nothing present to identify the artist.

Coins littered the floor of the fountain, each representing a wish made. If only those coins could speak.

The initials HB were cast into the base of the sculpture, but sadly they were not specific enough to find the artist's name.

You're not from around here :) Harold Balazs (pronounced "Blaze") was a giant in the Inland Northwest art world. His distinct sculptural style is all over Spokane. This was one tribute to him on his death: Cheers and thank you for the smile!

The statue remained spotted with signs of the previous night's rain.

The bronze edge of the statue created a dramatic contrast to the white brick and metal seating beyond it.

The top of the statue resembled a muscular version of the Greek letter Pi.
