@alexgdodds I do remember them. Nightclub downtown -3 floors, retro themed. Open for maybe 5-6 years? I think they filed bankruptcy to avoid a couple lawsuits.

In recent years, Paris has transformed from a city whose streets were designed for moving through, to streets designed for spending time. Its School Streets program has been central to this strategy, creating new public space that has tangibly improved the lives of all residents.

@MPowersNorrell Oh, we knew he was toxic. Sex in the City was not a guide to life. It wasn't a guidebook on how to live our lives in a healthy way. It was a reflection of our actual dating lives at the time - albeit with better friendships, better shoes, and better jokes.

@LouRovegno @holz_bau @mateosfo What does it matter? Theoretical exercise does not beat actual exercise.

@eddieoctane88 @STATter911 @OUC_DC @dcfireems Atlanta has 71 streets with the name Peachtree. When you live/work in DC, you know the quadrant matters. It's not that hard.

@realEstateTrent @dblockdotorg If you want to attract other people, it's a good idea to be open minded and curious about things you don't know much about. A person who has already made up their mind about everything is not someone who would be worth having a conversation with let alone go on a date with.

@MPowersNorrell Week after week for a month of 90 hr billable wks (really 95-100 hr in the office) is brutal. A year? woof. Compensaton may or may not show up in your EOY bonus.

@paytonchung @19eightytwomatt You are correct. The floor to floors dimensions are different than most of the historic precedents (as well as contemporary concrete). There's a lot more wall area and it's a very, very thin flat wall. It doesn't mean it can't be done well. Just that it's a challenge.

@19eightytwomatt @2024dion The conversation of whether 5-over-1 is good or not is so very tired. Yes, it's a perfectly good building type that we can build today, and we should build more.

@19eightytwomatt @2024dion I'm just saying your examples are not wood frame over podium. I am not saying they can't be done well and TGP has good examples of this building type. work in this area. However, there ARE impacts on the appearance of a building with different construction types.
