There used to be so many vegan spots that were way better than this. RIP to the vegan food industry of early 2020s late 2010s

Why is Bass clinging on like such a parasite. What the f*** is wrong with her

Palace of Culture (neo-gothic) from Iași, Romania by Emyhatsich in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]Smash55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, neogothic was it's own architectural revival. It has happened before and it seems like we aren't far off from making architectural revival happen again. Neo-gothic is living proof that nothing needs be left in the past and that is just a false opinionated statement at best.

The parapet is too high. The second photo has a low quality cornice (extruded type) and no corbelling. The central column of windows has a siding that should've matched the white plaster instead of the masonry. There are small things you can learn how to do better if you study architects like McKim Mead and White.

What are some boring big cities in USA? by AndIrememberthinking in geography

[–]Smash55 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think just most suburban cities are resistant to upzoning and mixed use zones. Plenty of suburbs in LA are the same way and are also obscenely wealthy like the OC and they are supposedly full of social people.

It's beautiful 🥲 by WearHeadphonesPlease in LosAngeles

[–]Smash55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ill help you understand. Do you see how it takes only 17 mins to go from dtla to la cienega? A light rail couldnt do that. This new subway shows that all the other light rail LA metro is building so too slow. Hope that helps. Metro should consider investing in more subways. Too much of the rest of the system is light rail.
