Soccer 4 All in Village. But it's expensive. Just go to soccer.com. They have better deals, if you can wait for a couple of days.

Architects looked at pictures of an old downtown fire station and designed the new fire station with old-fashioned features like a watch tower.

"If a fire station looks like a fire station and not a school, then people should be able to easily recognize that in an emergency situation, which I think is something we should do," said HFD Project Manager Barry Whitehead.

is it just me that doesn't look like fire station?

i'm not too impressed with the design, though. looks like 7-story strip center...

buildings can be cheap and elegant

think this is it..

wow... are they working on some kind of ephemeral architecture (to sound kind of poetic)? bulldoze

sorry to resurrect old thread, but does anyone know what happend to la jaliscience on montrose? looks like it's closed or renovating? i know it's no the best mexican restaurant, but they used to be open late... is la jaliscience in heights any good?

Yes, MacKie & Kamrath were the architects on both First Pasadena Bank (1962) and Science and Research (1969).

s&r looks old, but still looking good, though. although it's kinda hidden from street by that new pelli's building...

That's interesting. I had someone tell me exactly that same thing the other day, comparing the Pasadena building to the S&R building.

Because both are done by same architects, maybe?

seeing that mervyns is going belly up across the street, maybe...just maybe, taking that space could prove to be more economical to who wanted bank ones's space. imploding this building would trully be a crime....

nice pic, by the way.

i'm sorry to ask this question but who is the architect on this project? thanks in advance...

EDIT:

ok, i'll thank myself. it's hok, and some firm in dallas right?

i don't like that eagle sitting on the allan parkway side...
