To some up some of the above:

Never put parking between your building and the street. Never.

The only vehicle that should be allowed rest between the street and the building is an ambulance.

Idle, I thought I saw someone on the El in a giant rubber suit this morning - was that you?

tall, narrow alleys can be beautiful. thinking of the alleys in stockholm. it helps when you have the architectiture to support it.



this should probably go on the wishlist though.

soviet bus stop

why would that be on the shitlist, oa? that's pretty cool. maybe some additional enclosure from the elements is in order, but it's a great start!

add some glass, change the scale, and it looks like rem designed it...

It looks a little like a minimalist sculpture of a guy taking a dump. - In other words, like rem designed it.

I kid out of love!

I think it's pretty rad, as well. I'll take a Soviet bus stop over the defunct bus stop I have to sit at every morning and night.

ahh. right. it was a mistake on my part...
i'd like to take two years off and search for the mold in central asian steppes. would make a great docudrama, "in search of bus stop mold." kind of like "meetings with remarkable men.", using the similar camera angles, used.

i thought that was like sex-swing made out of concrete...thanks for the clarification

how about this painting on a wall you can see from one of the most touristy places in Barcelona:

"Why call it tourist season if we can't shoot them?"

right in front of Antoni Gaudí's Güell Park!:
