It's easy to be distracted by the disaster on the Mall -- but plenty of other, better celebrations of the 250th are happening outside DC including ***Tall Ships*** www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
I had to steal a photo of this but as I was saying … summer of merch! gothamist.com/news/nyc-poo...
I reviewed the Obama Center as a whole a few weeks ago, but now that it's open, I had to tell you more about the playground www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Very cool to be interviewed @elpais.com for the Spanish edition of EL DISEGNO DE LA INFANCIA elpais.com/economia/for...
I'm still on the America250 (good side) beat and did you know Vera Neumann made a Declaration of Independence scarf? www.etsy.com/listing/4513... I'm also tempted by these patriotic tea towels www.ebay.com/itm/31605818...
One of the pieces that seems totally gone from the internet is the one I wrote about all the architecture references in Monument Valley which I feel like was pretty early to make the leap from architecture to video games. I thought of it when I visited Ricardo Bofill's office + Walden 7
Rewriting my conclusion to include these two images: Electric car in 1973, electric car in 2026
I don't need anything but I might need this picnic blanket with NYC public parks TO SCALE checkout.square.site/merchant/Z8B...

This is the first in ABC. I can’t read it but yes, there was a Barbie question 💃
Got a little misty at Barcelona’s Parc de les Glories [so many kids having so much FUN]
Got to return to Madrid Rio 10 years after I wrote this New Yorker profile www.alexandralange.net/articles/461... and the landscape architects are correct: It does look better after everything’s grown in
Feels like a million years ago since I field tripped to Silicon Valley, but nice to have that work referenced in the forthcoming "Grounding the Cloud" nextcity.org/features/tec...
Went to the grand opening of the new Green-Wood Visitor Center and it is glorious! (Yes that is a giant tile floor map)
