I wish they would push the stadium right to the edge of the water. I had Manchester United at Fulham on over the weekend, and was stunned when I saw Craven Cottage's new Riverside stand, which expands out over the Thames and creates a new walkable pier that is only closed on match days. It also...

Apologies for the drive by shots of this one. West 2nd between D and E.

...is their marketing referencing Powerman 5000?

Spent many hours in this building as it was used as the Paraclete Center, both as a student and later as a volunteer. It feels like a sad closing of a chapter on one hand, but on the other this is a great use of the space and will be great for the community.

That's Southie

The proximity of the Harborwalk to the heart of the Seaport itself is what makes it so good. You step out of a restaurant or bar and it's right there. It's not like Baltimore's Inner Harbor (which, admittedly, I love) where the plaza-like design makes it feel somewhat separate from the city. The...

Man, I haven't been to Putnam Pantry since I was a kid, and I am a Putnam! I do remember the Smorgasbord but not taking as much because I really just liked chocolate sauce back then.

Oof. And I mean, OOOOOOOOF. https://bsky.app/profile/ofsevit.bsky.social/post/3mvg3x5mujs2d

Well now I'm somewhat embarrassed that I didn't make that connection myself, and I am at Watkins Glen annually. I actually think it looks like already oxidized copper.

What a cool site! I especially love the photo of the BFD truck with a Fung Wah Bus and the blue Big Dig fencing in the background. I remember the tours happening but no one in my family (myself included) was interested in them then. In retrospect it would have been cool, though certainly we all...

It's definitely happened to me on projects, not with asbestos per se but other contaminants in the soil. Part of remediation is continually testing areas as you dig until you get to a point where the numbers are below threshold and then you can move forward. If you keep finding more of it, you...

There's not a lot they could have done until they knocked the building down. You can't abate what you can't access, and as the asbestos was effectively encapsulated by the building above it there was nothing to harm anyone and no legal requirement to address it. Should they have known that there...

The best was when the LA Coliseum hosted Supercross and Stadium Off-Road as a kid, and they used the full peristyle section at the east end of the stadium. Up, through the columns, and back down. Feld's been doing into-the-stands stuff for the Monster Jam World Finals, but those are one-off...

It feels so generic, like it could be for a midwestern indoor (American) football team. "Join the Flock", also on the render, is just as bad. Just low effort.

That is true. Until Monster Jam expanded their schedule into the summer months in the 2010s, I was eternally jealous that the Metrodome, Hoosier Dome, and Silverdome all got wintertime stadium monster truck shows, while we were stuck with the dinky little Centrum. Those also usually came with a...

Minneapolis is actually a poor example of that because the Wild play in their own building in nearby St. Paul! But, yes, when shared NBA and NHL arenas keep people coming into the city just about every evening in the wintertime.
