I guess you're right, yet perhaps it's also a matter of perspective. Most such developments would retain at least this much parking, but would not have so much or such nicely-done open space. Or am I wrong about that?

Twitter is now X? I might finally be outta here. I think they forgot the 'e' in front of the X.

This cube could mark the epicenter of my college years in NYC. My first dorm was two blocks northwest of it, my second dorm three blocks northeast, and most all of my classes three or four blocks southwest. archpaper.com/2023/07/tony-r…

Excited to learn my photo of the sculpture "East Wind" by Toma Villa (hanging in the PAE Living Building lobby) is going to be published in an upcoming book about Pacific Northwest indigenous sculptors.

I love this collage sent to me as a gift by Seattle artist Nell Nordlie. The pieces are from old sheet music, maps, ration stamps, graph paper, receipts, packaging, transit tickets, blueprints, price tags, canceled checks, promotional materials, etc.

Still savoring this match a day later. Alcaraz isn't just an insanely great 20-year-old. He didn't just slay the player with the most grand-slam titles and win Wimbledon in only his fourth grass-court tournament. He's restored the beautiful game missing since Federer retired.
From @TheAthletic: In more than a decade, 45 players failed to beat Novak Djokovic on Centre Court. But Carlos Alcaraz is different. Djokovic said it best: "I haven’t played a player like him ever, to be honest." nyti.ms/3rzfAcw

Luckily the circa-1924 school itself was not demolished. Revolution Hall is there now, in the former school auditorium. But I do remember halfway through the demo seeing the gym without a roof.

Doing an art trade with a friend, and she surprised me by choosing my 2009 photo of the Washington High School gym demolition.

For some reason, I almost feel like I could frame this photo.
