Green, whether it's forest, teal or jade, is a wildly underused color today. Love that look ^^ I also shared these to the 400 Summer Street thread but wanted to share them here as well.... Hasbro's freshly renovated headquarters from a June 1988 article...

Digging through old architecture magazines, I came across a June 1988 article on Hasbro's extensive HQ renovations. Surely the offices have been renovated since then but they still occupy this building for at least a little while longer. https://www.usmodernist.org/AJ/A-1988-06.pdf

Welp, let's do a very shallow deep dive of Arsenal Mall courtesy of shots I saved years ago off of Labelscar, a now-defunct blog dedicated to retail archaeology, aka exploring dead/dying malls and big box stores. This first handful date to 2001 And these are from 2007 I worked...

Some Boston pomo from various Architecture Magazine scans Arsenal Mall in 1983... my wife remembers this place as "the rainbow mall!"

That new George Howell plus Lyrik plaza could function as an exceptional meetup spot hmmmmmmmm?? This could apply to an AB meetup as well oh????

'Tis the season

Still liking this one!

Dang, wish I saw the last few posts before I found myself down there yesterday morning. I would've totally gotten some coffee I got so close to wandering into the plaza and yet I didn't.... doh! And one more from lunch time

Yesterday 8/31

Lots to love there, but that Gemballa E30 is *chef's kiss*

Catching up on random Lexington and Bedford from the last month and a half..... here's the Lex condos on 7/17 Bedford 17 Hartwell, the 312-unit project, on one of those early August days with the heavy Canadian wildfire smoke 440 Bedford St, which still appears to have zero tenants...

Well that's certainly unfortunate, but the slightly bigger picture here is that the whole project, from beginnning to ignominious sale to Columbia, can be filed under "mostly regrettable."

Michael Graves: love him, hate him, have extremely mixed emotions about him like me.... 40+ years later and his work is still challenging perceptions. There's so much I love about his designs and yet there's also so much that I find freaking gross. Case in point: the Humana Tower in Louisville...

Not pomo per se, but certainly evocative of the recent past Biosphere II I'd post the rest of the text but the magazine scan is missing that page(s): https://www.usmodernist.org/AJ/A-1991-05.pdf

Addendum: work brought me two blocks away from here this past Monday so I swung by and did a little walkaround. I know these hardly qualify as Dirty or Old so this is the last I'll bring them up in here :p The library really isn't mentioned in the article and I wasn't intending on...

Many times I've thought if I need a blunt force object to disable an intruder, I'm reaching straight for that lamp! Also yes, it could heat a small apartment in the wintertime with the wasted energy it gives off.

Screw it, here's mine: Also Arenacale, I make vaporwave music and if you'd like some retro accompaniment as you make your way through thios thread then may suggest this pairing:

They're built like tanks, and other than the halogen bulbs which are wildly energy inefficient, they'll easily last another 30-40 years. I bought mine in 2018 and looking at today's prices, they're holding their value almost exactly (maybe not quite keeping up with inflation?) in which case you...
