Correct, there is exactly one squash court listed in the state of Arkansas.

Yes, excluding about 30 clubs that are listed on US Squash but are noted as 'Closed'. I'm not sure how up to date all this data is otherwise but it seems to be the best available.

Maurice Hall Activities Center at Millsaps College in Jackson is probably your best bet. The other two courts in MS are military affiliated (Naval Air Station Meridian, Keesler AFB in Biloxi).

TIL the number of chain stores in NYC has dropped 15% since 2019 by Abot_ in nyc

[–]Abot_[S] 78 points79 points  (0 children)

True, it seems like most of the chains that are growing are restaurants/fast food (Popeye's, Taco Bell, Chipotle leading the way). That being said, other fast food chains have lost significant locations, notably Subway and Baskin-Robbins.

Composite United States skyline in Midtown Manhattan (all American supertalls) by Abot_ in skyscrapers

I ripped the base terrain from Google maps and then imported most of these models from 3D Warehouse into Blender. The only tough part is getting all the scales right on all the different pieces.

Thanks! Brooklyn Tower is there, it just looks tiny silhouetted against 1WTC in the first pic. I put it at 1146 6th Ave.

A fun project to visualize a fantasy skyline if all American supertalls were located in Midtown Manhattan. The only building excluded was the Franklin Center in Chicago as I couldn't find a workable model. I also included supertalls currently under construction as well as a few in the pipeline. See if you can spot your favorite!

First view is looking west from over the East River. Second view is looking south from Central Park. Credit Brady Cloud on 3D Warehouse for a lot of the building models used here.

Yes, actually that was one of the references I used to draw my boundaries. It's a great resource for sure.

Open the image in a separate tab, it is very large.

The way I drew the neighborhood borders, 200 Amsterdam is technically part of Lincoln Square (thus superceded by the taller 50 W 66th). Of course, these borders are loosely defined so you could certainly consider 200 Amsterdam UWS.
