By Jen Dunnaway Editor Thanks to overpopulation, and some motorists' inability to treat cyclists and pedestrians courteously, Mayor Michael Bloomberg will be exiling all vehicle traffic from a 7-mile stretch of some of Manhattan's busiest thoroughfares for three Saturdays this August. The "Summer Streets" experiment, during which a chunk of Manhattan (including the iconic Park Avenue) will be open only to cyclists and pedestrians, will likely involve a lot of the obnoxious, folksy, litter-bIt’s Elemental, My Dear Seattle
It’s Elemental, My Dear Seattle Jun 18th, 2008 by Ben_Kakimoto Pb Elemental is a local company comprised of architects, structural engineers and in-house sales, who’s attempting to redefine Seattle architecture one parcel at a time. Their portfolio is comprehensive and includes single family residences, townhomes, mid-rise apartments, live/work lofts, commercial structures and a pencil thin highrise. There is consistency in their design style; the first thought that comes to my mind is “90poll: your neighbor’s music
This morning I had a surreal experience. Prior to my shower, I’d been listening to some Frank Sinatra. Afterwards, I was jamming out to an Ed Banger mix cd a friend made me (a sweet Justice track to be precise). To my surprise, when I hit the power off button on my amplifier I heard the muted sounds of Steve Aoki’s excellent “Pillowhead” DJ set filtering into my living room from somewhere below. With a huge smile on my face - remembering the incredible time I had at Aoki (and following mAPA Awards Honor Garcetti, Goldberg and Everyone Else

I guess rent control (a refutation of property rights and just really bad economics unless you are a fan of economics in the former Soviet Union) is still popular in New York City. You can tell who the most important constituents are for Linda Rosenthal— firefighters, police, civil servants and artists. Everybody else I guess sucks because they are not tax eaters.

I'd never seen this photograph before. Mies in 1960 with his 860 - 880 Lake Shore Drive Apartments. (Where I live when I'm in Chicago.) Photograph by Slim Aarons. Funny, like the Barcelona Pavilion, which for so long was known only from memory and black and white photos, until it was "reconstructed;" it is (as "cityofparis" says in a comment to this post) very odd to see a color photograph of Mies. It does make him come alive in a more modern way. The color even makes him seem a little less Co-op of the Day: 35 Prospect Park West
Does 35 Prospect Park West have more multi-million-dollar mega apartments than any other prewar building in Brooklyn? It sure feels like it. We've already covered a penthouse asking more than $6 million and a high-floor duplex asking $4,450,000. Now another mac-daddy duplex has come to market with a price tag of $4,950,000. This one has a tricked out new kitchen, four bedrooms, an exercise room and 3-zone air conditioning system.
