New construction; simple parapet roof and arched windows.

Hitler and Mussolini were also obsessed with classical architecture and style.

Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.

It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.

Yet people who drool β€˜freedom’ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.

Norfolk Pacific is probably a better name than Union Southern. But they’ll probably hire some agency to rebrand the company something like Ralea

Excerpt ID the International Design Magazine’s β€œPlates Du Jour” article by Lukas Hauser 
β€”β€”β€”β€”
In Illinois, a precedent-setting license plate election was held in 1999.
"It's nice to give motorists a hand in it." says state spokesperson Randy Nehrt,
"They want visitors to recognize our state." (Design snobs might say the winning entry demonstrates why democracy should never be used in this way again.)
Other faux pas: using clipart (e.g., Michigan's "Auto Industry Commemorative" plate) or silly typography (e.g., Missouri’s use of the Lithos font on its 1997 plate - so 1990!) to decorate an otherwise uninspired design. Recently, a new minimalism has countered this garishness: Kansas's wheat glyph and Wyoming's cowboy icon complement rugged slab-serif fonts, and Montana went from a teal-and-orange sports-utility look to an ethereal sci-fi motif for its 2000 prototype.
The standard-bearer for license-plate connoisseurs has to be Rhode Island's 1996 series, designed with Bodoni flair by Rhode Island designer Tyler Smith. Aside from nicely kerned type, Rhode Island's plate has elegant dark blue numerals and typography, with a simple wave graphic pushed gently to the background.

Business owners are often the staunchest opponents of safe bike infrastructure because they fear that less parking will affect their bottom line. The 9 Line in Salt Lake City shows, once again, that bike infrastructure is good for business. Hope this has a ripple effect in other SLC neighborhoods.

A treatment for large windowless spans on street-facing buildings: spandrel glass and local rotating art displays.

Appreciate the minimal dark mullions, mirrored glass, and golden-ratio verticality on this new construction in Minneapolis

A picture of Sacha Jenkins.

This weekend is incredibly sad because of the passing a giant in our culture, Sacha Jenkins. Sacha was a filmmaker, writer and a curator of hip-hop, graffiti, punk, rock and jazz. From Ego Trip to Mass Appeal, he helped create some of our most indelible sources of info. RIP my friend. RIP Sacha.
