it is interesting to compare and contrast the two. the bean was always going to be the bean no matter what, just as this was always going to have a corporate approved pre-branded moniker shoveled on us. seems hard to believe as both are 'new,' but indeed they are built in different eras. they certainly reflect their times, don't they? with the simple and clean bean and the vessel steps being more complicated and actually physically challenging (allusions to obama era and the exhausting trump era).
