  1. Thanks, it (the sunset) was very nice. This was taken from the UAB parking deck directly behind the Parliament House hotel.

  5. Picture of the Day: October 5, 2005 Episcopal Church of the Advent Taken September 29, 2005 The scaffold has finally come down after the masonry preservation and repointing project that began in 2001. You can't tell that much has been done, but it's got it where it counts. (We made a lot of special modifications ourselves.)
  6. Difficult as it may be to believe, ornate Victorian buildings were considered eyesores in the 1960s. Aesthetic fashions are a dangerous way to judge architectural merit. Clasically, architecture values fitness and durability alongside beauty. If a building is well-suited to its purpose and in good physical condition, it would be a shame to haul it, broken into dumpster-loads, into a landfill and then staple up an unmaintainable pile of historicist dryvit in its place.
  7. These are nice photos. I took five of them. Those that were taken by me are licensed under a Creative Commons license that allows for non-commercial republication as long as I am credited and a copy of or link to the license is attached. The photos taken by Larry O. Gay are copyrighted to him and you would need to contact him for permission to use them. Same with the other photos from the Museum website, etc.
  8. So that would be about a 50% increase since 1993. Seems pretty significant.
  9. Source was apparently a "packager" doing grunt-work probing for other investors. The 800 ft number sounded like a "ridiculously high" figure to toss at the FAA and see what came back since apparently the FAA won't just publish their height restrictions but wants to review them case by case. So: No site. No plans. No further info. Minor rumblings.
  10. I believe that SoHo has been sold out for quite a while, with some of the units already flipped once or twice. I'm not sure, but I think Ingram is making a commission every time a unit is resold, so they must be pretty pleased by now.
  11. Blazer85, the CC: Attribution Non-Commercial license requires that you credit me with this photo, and include a copy of or reference to the license terms. No harm done, just a heads up (since this board seems to be policing copyright violations). The original, by the way, can be found here on flickr.
