This outstanding map shows the different ages of the skylines across North America. Austin vs Fort Worth is fun. What urban histories do you see reflected here? Source: buff.ly/4cQpwjK

Sad to find out 88 China Bistro on 3rd St closed. Some of the nicest owners. Hope they enjoy the next phase after 18 years!

Today architect Rafael Viñoly passed away at the age 78. During his illustrious career Viñoly amassed a robust and diverse portfolio of buildings, including 432 Park Avenue in New York and 20 Fenchurch Street in London.

Instead of an ‘alternative’ plan that is basically the 1980s status quo, we need to be bold and NOT widen 77 now, if ever. Kicking the mobility can down the road 10 years is just what will stifle the regions growth and quality of life, not what will allow it to thrive.

Organize groups and persistently make it clear that ending parking minimums is a community priority.
The city’s economic development office gave us the Truist sign, and now this. And they get to hide behind non-public decision making.
