I would put this essay in the same category as Tom Wolfes', From Bauhaus to Our House. Article This is interesting quote, after reading it I'm almost convinced now that only capital is truly beautiful and that the old adage of "every building as an image of an unseen man" is an outdated theory of identity.

Not a proper representation? I'm sorry what angles do you approve of?

The police intimidate me all the time, it's best to just avoid them at all costs. If you are detained, confronted, or arrested don't do anything that could make it worse. Eventually, if you are in the right, you'll have your day in court.

Here's an idea, rename it Highway 6.

Isn't that just plain old vanilla capitalism? We see Home Depot opposite and adjacent to Lowe's locations all the time. I don't understand your argument against Wal-Mart.

Is there a negative connotation to the term Montrose? Why say "Midtown" ?

Lofting in architecture typically refers to the sectional aspect of having double height ceilings and is usually a split level design with a "lofted" space that overlooks the main space. In this case it is one rectangular space in plan (like an efficiency) and sectionally lofted. I've stayed in an efficiency with standard 9' ceilings in a dingbat complex and it would seem that they are hard to rent and worse (like most dingbats) they are poorly maintained (I think I had a direct hole to the outdoors in my bathroom ceiling where an exhaust fan had once been). I also think the term "efficiency" in modern real estate jargon has a negative connotation too.

But efficiency apartments typically are not lofted.

Design fees are generally higher for projects like this.

link Walmart has done some pretty interesting things in the past and since this is they're first inner city store it would benefit the community to be aware of what they've experimented with in the past.

Never have had a decent experience at Rich's. AVOID.

Islam needs a Reformation like the Catholic Church went through in the 16th century.

This site is only connected to the Astrodome in nostalgic imagination. What will become of the pedestrian bridge that connects to this site?

The Hardy Yards

I think of reality TV as analogous to the rise of game shows in the 1950's. While trivial in content, they are exhibiting real emotions and that's what people wait and watch to get a glimmer of.

I love that dimension of the city. Seeing it from an open balcony 4+ stories. The enclosures of the observation decks in other towers feel too alien to appreciate.

It looks like 3 buildings squished together.

How Lost should have ended

This thread reminds me of this hyper graphic

Who are they a farm club for?

Probably hip hop or rap. If there's a lot of "boom" in the bass, it's rap. If there's a lot of "bap" in the bass, it's hip hop. About their cars, they really like the cushy interiors of domestic luxury and family vehicles of the 1970's and 80's because of their sex appeal and level of cost to maintain indicates wealth. That's circuit house or electro-house. Disco-house is more soulful/gospel styled like the Chicago House style, French House of the late 90's, or New Jersey Garage. Your example is very Miami/Ibiza style, you might like Pria Urbana or 77002 events.

So you mean to tell me that Disco is in fact, not dead? edit: FYI, disco-house has faster dance tempos and is based upon disco samples. Nu disco or balleric/cosmic disco is based upon vintage synths and has a slower lounge style tempo while hip hop has an even slower tempo.
