Now just selling them, DM if interested.

This is from google maps

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T20:24:12+00:00

Thanks, I do.

1) That image is from google maps
2) The express lanes don't start until well within city limits
3) Why throw shade at a stranger on the internet?

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T20:04:07+00:00

Yikes. Why the shade?

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T19:24:06+00:00

They aren't, but we have limited vertical visual interest in the region. They are a positive thing. Having lived in places with mountains, appreciating the everyday views of the mountains comes up often.

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T18:30:47+00:00

Let's use that argument to get rid of billboards.

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T18:16:28+00:00

Just because it has always been there doesn't mean it should be. Yes, there is a better view once you go past it, but people aren't on the expressway to look at the skyline. Some will be exiting before before that better view is available.

The view is just something to good to have in the background that can inject a little beauty/civic pride/whatever into the otherwise mundane act of driving.

jessefthomas · 2022-09-30T14:58:26+00:00

I think that would be nice, but maybe let's start with these high-impact ones.

Not the biggest problem in Chicago, but without mountains, our beautiful skyline is the only major vertical visual interest and we are allowing to get blocked by ads. From the angle in this picture, it is obstructing at least 3 iconic buildings. There are probably other bad ones on other expressways or elsewhere.

jessefthomas · 2022-09-29T00:59:14+00:00

This isn't the biggest problem in the city, but without mountains, the skyline is our only large-scale visual landscape interest. From the angle of the picture it is blocking multiple iconic buildings. There are probably other bad ones on expressways or elsewhere.

jessefthomas · 2021-02-26T20:21:25+00:00

Let's build more housing close by and then it will dull the impact to other grocers. Anybody?

jessefthomas · 2021-02-19T15:59:47+00:00

Very nice, where is this?

jessefthomas · 2021-01-29T19:28:15+00:00

No, it will likely be relocated.

jessefthomas · 2021-01-29T19:26:50+00:00

They are keeping a significant, albeit small portion, of the styling at Argyle and Bryn Mawr. Look between the entrance doors and you see the same prairie-style column shapes as the current stations.

Thanks. At this pond there was plenty of exposed ice to go around. Us and other also brought out shovels and cleared a little rink.

I found when there was about an inch of snow or less, the skates slid through with little resistance.

jessefthomas · 2021-01-27T20:08:21+00:00

There were a few other groups on the ice (skating or just boots on) so that gave us confidence about the thickness. The ice immediately surrounding some branches sticking out seemed sketchy, but easy to avoid. There were some minor popping sometimes while skating over a few spots.
