There is no such thing as weather being too bad to build good urbanism Culdesac Tempe, Arizona @culdesac.bsky.social

Reminds me of the cornice of the building at the SW corner of Argyle and Sheridan

Behold the Loop Geyser, a wonder of nature

This building has a sign from “1st Choice Building Maintenance” which seems to indicate that the building will be fixed up. Though in many places along this street, repairing the building means stripping all the architectural details and covering it with grey brick. Hopefully that doesn’t happen

Can’t believe the wall forgot to wear a high-vis vest. It was just asking to be hit! 31st and Indiana

It’s a special joy to be able to walk down the dead center of a street

I loved visiting the automats when I was visiting the Netherlands, it would be absolutely great having these at or near CTA stations

Lots of little boxes of cheap but delicious food

The CTA put out a RFP for developing this property. It mentions installing pavers on the south side of the property near Clark and Roscoe, though that’s not the location pictured. I don’t see anything disallowing them from building on this corner, so hopefully this lackluster plaza is temporary

Duluth seems really terrifying right now

As far as we know, this tower may go up forever!

I did not need this rain.

And right at the moment that I was trying to get home from the train station

It could have waited 10 minutes for me to get home first, though

Went to visit this intersection earlier today, I hope this can see the next standard for intersection design in Chicago, it really is very good quality infrastructure.

A view of the ramps leading up to the raised intersection, displaying a proper incline that is likely to slow drivers down, unlike many of the “raised” crosswalks which has been built across Chicago, whose slopes are far to shallow to actually provide any meaningful traffic calming

Do we know how the train is supposed to navigate around this block? Most of the right away is intact, but it was demolished in this single block, and I’ve never seen a proper answer of how it deals with this

That Person@that-person· Jun 21

Lots of empty lots, but I also saw a decent amount of construction nearby

That Person@that-person· Jun 21

Still there

Probably my favorite in the entire city of Chicago. There’s not a single other street in the city that looks like it Monroe between 5th Ave and Sacramento Blvd in East Garfield Park

There’s an audience behind the police tape. The front entrance of my home is cordoned off

So it seems like there was a shooting just in front of my house, there was a cop being put in an ambulance…

I have a second bike, a Dutch bike from the mid to late 80s (don’t know the exact year, but that’s currently in my parents home in St. Louis. I’ll bring it to Chicago when I move out of my current tiny apartment, which will likely be sometime next spring

There is a redevelopment planned for this site, not sure the timeline of the project chicagoyimby.com/2025/12/morg...
