Intended or not. (I'm just shootin' off all over the place here.) Reason? Revelation time. I have decided to leave the Bay Area for a while. :confused: Requests for scenes, views, random objects of interest or otherwise can be accommodated only for a few more months, or weeks. Remaining...

Re: Trans National Place (Winthrop Square) Part 2 Exxxxxcellent! Another Rudolph has been saved and might make it well into the second half of its century. We all suspected this would happen. Take that, Jabba! Now lets find somebody more worthy and adventerous to develop the garage site...

^ Ha! Relevant and fitting end--construction crane and all. Brit horror films always seem less cheesy compared to their American counterparts from the same era. Must be the accents (and acting abilities). Nope. It's King Tut. However, this observation may have more to do with my own...

Re: Russia Wharf Comcast Center = Background building = sleek enough but not stellar (or fun) Philly = NOT boring. Think czsz needs a beer and cheesesteak tour for starters cuz something you been ingesting lately juss ain't wo'kin' fo ya. ;)

I cannot contribute to the survey. Sorry. (Taking this further off point??) Whoa. Seems as if the South End hasn't changed much in the twenty years since I've been there, eh, because I got the impression it became an urban utopia. Boston Police have changed, though? I never had any negative...

Yaaaaaaysssss.... *sigh* That flat aerial view makes it look like some primitive neanderthal tool was jabbed into the existing site. Looks like somebody was staring at their triangle/drafting tools in a jumble on their table and came up with the courthouse footprint/shape. I have yet to...

Nuff said.

Ron, you made me do it--taking my own thread off-topic again. ;) Behold! San Francisco from Alameda Naval Air Station Oh. Okay. Not so off-topic. I'll restrain myself and won't do any more than this one. I'll start an Alameda thread later. That's inside the Broadway Tunnel...

And now, for something completely different. How architecture and design is in places we overlook, and its contribution to the environment in which we live. Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, CA http://www.mountainviewcemetery.org/ Designed by Olmsted, though not carried out to his...

Oh yeah. I like to shift utensils a few degrees off axis when I go to formal dinner parties, asymmetricalize (?word?) the flower arrangements, and kick the chairs askew. :p I have a number of friends, none of whom toured the same places with me, but all of whom have said, when entering a FLW...

If I understand what you're asking of me then, yes, I suppose--to all the above. Part of the commute is going to require some other mode of transport to get you to the train/bus/carpool, whether by foot, bike, moped, gas guzzler, right? Not everyone can live on top of an intermodal...

^ Sadly, I was unable to attend the opening festivities last week or the Social Distortion concert the following night. N'huh?!? You read it right. The first booked show. What an odd one. Guess all their fans are too old and even more mainstream now to trash the place. 'I remember the day when...

^ I'm chortling, BB. It is fun to watch people in the throes of spacial confusion when they approach these, especially when you hear them say, 'I hit my head...' a-la Gumby Theater. The Contemporary Jewish Museum shape and form of the Liebeskindy part is supposed to signify something. (I'm...

Looked much better very, very tiny on my camera's screen. Trying to be a bit too artsy for my own good. Was a wee tipsy after catching the last BART train back from SFO to Oakland one chilly night. No matter. Jebus still wuvs me.

I couldn't even admire the building after these first two pics. How can you live with that... that... ick! LMAO It was so distracting, I didn't even know what I was supposed to be looking at. :p I dunno if I will ever be able to get used to that again. Anyway, I've said this before, as...

The Cross Bronx was already decrepit a few decades ago. If it got any worse, I can't begin to imagine.... Lurker, you crack me up. Always. :cool: This entire stimulus package is rot. I'm disgusted with my country right now. Not learning. Not getting it. Leaves me wishing my family's dual...

Re: New tower at Christian Science Church Plaza When some of you refer to 'the park' do you mean the green space fronting Mass Ave? This would be my vote for prime developable space. It could have two significant structural elements on either end while leaving a view corridor to the front of...

Haaaawwww! Did I lose two months, somehow, traveling through a time warp? I missed April 1st, right? I'm I'm I'm ah.... slack jawed. I know. I'm waaaay behind on this. But but but uh.... I feel like McEnroe, repeating after every paragraph, "You can't be serious, man. You cannot be...

What? No State Transportation Building in Park Square? :) I have always been ga-ga over the Boston Five. It's the best modern urban building--a grand, classicist structure, imo. Sadly, Boston has so few that fit these (your) criteria, ablarc. I think you are forgetting one other potential...

Re: T construction news How did half the carcass of a whale get so far inland? (If this has already been said, I apologize. Cannot read everything on here after two and a half years gone.) Is this part of the Ts updated security measures? :rolleyes: A badly imagined CONTROL secret...
