Does anyone else think this roofline looks oddly familiar?

Last Friday, the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa (my one time hometown) broke ground on a new Performing Arts facility.



As I looked at the image, I was struck by the similarity to another performing arts center and it's "wave like" roof.

Is the resemblence there, or am I imagining it?



I remember when conversations about the UD Performing Arts Center began around 2000. It was under discussion when I worked for the Dubuque Symphony, but didn't quite get off the ground.

I'm excited for Dubuque and the possibilities that the UD Performing Arts Center will bring, however, I am also concerned about the fate of the Five Flags Center.



I hope that the City of Dubuque has a plan for the continued use of the historic Five Flags complex. It is a piece of history worthy of preservation and use.
