Hah, that’s awesome. I love it. Tall skyscrapers are fun.

It’s almost like OKC is saying “oh, you thought our one supertall tower looked goofy in contrast with the rest of our relatively short skyline? WELL NOW HOW DO YA LIKE THEM APPLES!”

I would be surprised if that actually got built.

I hope OKC builds it.

Tourist attraction (Hemingway’s house)


Water feature (actually the condo building we’re staying in)


An @OakCityDylan and an @OakCityKarla. We definitely need some of these in Raleigh


And a cutting edge music scene. This new album is called D.K. and the Guccies

On the honeymoon and one of our stops was in Blenheim, NZ. Came across a street setup that I thought would be a good influence for Fayetteville Street. By converting the street to one way it maintains a decent amount of street parking while providing extra seating, trees, and other added features via the sidewalk peninsulas. Cheers!

More Budapest. Photo of a Dozsa Gyogy avenue (near Heroes’ Square), and then a Marriott adjacent to the Danube.

The size of those sidewalks, my God. It’s like they actually expect a lot of people to walk there or something

Does anyone have Durham development updates? I just saw a video of the storm in downtown, posted on Twitter by ABC11, and the new tower seems to be almost the same height as the former tallest building there.

That’s one development I would go NIMBY against.
