The $53-million Pacific Visions expansion project at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach reached a major milestone as the final panel of glass was placed on its rolling, wave-like facade.
It's not every day I get to sign the last steel beam on a major project before it is hoisted into place. It is even more rare that I get to share this honor with a two ft-tall Megellanic penguin dressed in his black and white birthday suit.
