Sorry, I didn't have enough characters. I wasn't advocating for strip malls, I was trying to add to your point that building codes, in addition to zoning, contribute to making so much new construction low-density, single-use, and parking-driven.

Not sure what your building code is there in Indy, but introducing that mix into a building that wasn't last configured to have exactly that (especially if the residential is considered "new"), can have costly sprinklering and separation requirements under most codes.
Strip malls are always easier!

Or is a concrete "hat" formed on top of the wood structure. The beams are deep but not deep enough for the latter.
I can't imagine a German architect in the 60s would've "faked" the concrete overhang, but it seems like it must be somewhat hollow to sit on those four small columns and wooden beams?

I'm at a total loss as to how that roof overhang was detailed? The depth of the (apparently concrete) overhang seems to equal the depth of wood glulam structure at the interior, so is the wood main roof somehow supporting a board-formed concrete "donut" in the same plane around it?

I assume you are aware of the old-timey usage in parts of rural Ohio (maybe more places?) where green bell peppers were referred to as “mangoes,” and mangoes, being nonexistent, weren’t referred to at all?

Yeah, I looked at that recently and the date was indeed alarming. Didn’t realize that he’d played just the year before, I was at the later one for sure.

I think they just finished a reno of the hall but I hope they didn’t touch the seats. But then I have short legs! Also hope they didn’t mess with the super-low guard rails, which they can ruin sight lines with when renovating.

That was my only opportunity, you may be right that he was solo, though I feel like 1 or 2 others might’ve been there? But yeah, it was some sort of anniversary of AotS, I think. I guess he’s supposed to be a pretty mercurial dude.

Saw them on that reunion tour a few years back at the Carnegie Music Hall, just behind the vantage point of the second photo.

One of these men was a Nazi, and it wasn’t the German one.

It did strike me as odd, but not implausible, that he and Adam share a mouth.

Ah, in my house it drips right onto the porch roof. Which it too shallow a slope for asphalt shingles, and which has a box gutter that was bridged-over with plywood that is even shallower, and has leaked through the fascia over the front steps for the last decade, while I try not think about it.

What did my beautiful boy ever do to you?

I just walked 3/4 of a mile to work and the correlation between shoveled and unshoveled sidewalk was directly owner-occupied to rental, as near as I could tell.
Giant old house with four mailboxes? Unshoveled every time.

The model plane and railroad grandpas will save us all.

Those whippersnappers have laser cutters… all their models smell like a bonfire.

This kind of article is why I let my 10+ year subscription lapse and read the @newyorker.com instead these days. The time for “both sides” among people who should know better ended years ago.

The frustrating part is people like this are being so handsomely rewarded for their work (of questionable value) that they do this for 15 years and then “dabble” in some other not-profitable thing (Open a restaurant! Develop an apartment building!) and architects have to deal with them as clients.
