Focus Issues

It's been a struggle to get tack-sharp focus with this lens lately. But I just don't want to accept that it's soft wide-open. So I continue to find the minutest details to focus on as a challenge. And this is the sharpest I could come up with.

Is the lens soft wide-open? Or is my eyesight failing me? Wishfully thinking it were the former.

Eastern State is all but totally abandoned. Philadelphia Streets Department uses grounds for storage. Vandals smash skylights and windows. An urban forest grows in the halls and cells.
