I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

lily allen directly references her age in each album…? 20, 22, almost nearly 40

do the other two albums do this too?

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

from balmoral in andersonville to diversey in park west, the 22 Clark bus stopped at EVERY SINGLE BUS STOP except ONE.

THERE IS A STOP EVERY OTHER BLOCK.

CTA get rid of half of your bus stops. This is out of control.

It just does not look good on so many levels, but especially-- and this is important-- the "does it look good to haphazardly bulldozer a vaunted National Monument" level

I think the destruction of the White House East Wing resonates because it is so viscerally permanent.

But the ongoing destruction of Constitutional order and international law is no less permanent.

There is no repair. We must build anew.

brand new halsted street not graded properly, major flooding at aldine intersection

also the lack of transparency on the rainbow crosswalks at this political moment is a spectacular failure on all involved

Cardiff set to impose SUV parking premium after council approval Owners of large cars such as SUVs would be charged more to encourage switching to smaller vehicles.

"These heavier vehicles typically produce more emissions, cause greater wear and tear on roads, and critically pose a significantly higher risk in the event of a road traffic collision."

Good to see acknowledgement of the extra costs of SUVs to society.

The reason they fight so hard, loud, crazy, lying at every opportunity, exaggerating everything until it makes no sense - is that they know if they lose, they’re going to prison. We have to make sure they go there.
