[Mod Edit: Use this thread to discuss anything about the people's rights under the US Constitution] I don't like the new MS flag because it has the expression "In God We Trust" at the bottom. I may not be a Constitutional scholar, but I believe that having that slogan on a state flag, as well...

I created this thread because I (and many others) are sick and tired of threads being hijacked by individuals who obviously have problems with each other. As you know, I rarely post here, but I've always come here to read about the latest issues related to architecture and construction in...

Since the Presidential race thread is going about as well as expected, I thought I might create a threat that relates so slightly less partisan, but still controversial ballot questions. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have four separate threads or squeeze them into one, but I figure that if...

Just returned from a lovely trip to Melbourne and I'd thought I'd share some transit and city related photos. A few notes about the city: The tram system here is pretty fricken amazing! I'm still trying to work out whether or not it's as efficient as it is convenient. For example, finding a...

I don't live in Maynard, nor have I spend much time in the town but this development intrigued me. https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2015/11/30/maynard-hoping-for-downtown-renaissance/XQKI5mAyTAyZR5J0iN1fPM/story.html I hope more towns can create better downtowns and get away from the...

http://www.vox.com/2015/11/2/9657978/hotel-vacancy-rate This is a good article about the fact that America's hotel occupancy rate is higher than ever. I can only assume it's even higher in places like Boston and NYC.

As per request from FK4...here are some shots of Astana and Almaty Kazakhstan I'm working backwards here as I went to Astana first and Almaty second, but these pics will be of Almaty first. It was early April 2010 and the weather in Almaty was similar to Boston's but Astana was still friggin'...

I've just recently moved to Malaysia and I'm amazed at the amount of construction that is going on here., and the amount that has happened since I was last here in 2010. It may even rival China. I hope to get some pictures up in the next few weeks, but until then, I wanted to post this link to...

This may have been answered in some other threads, but I'm unable to find it. Currently on Mass Ave, near where Putnam Ave and Mt. Auburn streets all come together there is some sort of construction going on and I have not idea what it is. It seems like an exceedingly long time to just dig the...
