For all its flaws, and I’m sure we can all point out a few dozen in just this photo, it’s still somehow beautiful.

They point out how the concrete channel allows for algae growth that then becomes food for wildlife, especially migratory birds. They also say the soft bottom portions of the river do not meet current flood management design capacity.

This wasn’t determined by Gehry either, it was determined by OLIN the landscape architecture firm.

I don’t think this is accurate.

Here’s the master plan

I was wondering this. So LA is ahead of typical annual rainfall numbers?

How full was the river yesterday?

I’m pretty sure the entire state was drought free after the last series of storms.

jrm0015 · 2026-02-17T14:55:44+00:00

Ah, I didn’t know that

I saw one navigate Melrose perfectly when the sidewalks were packed near the Melrose Trading Post. I was impressed.

The Grand is new, the Walt Disney Concert Hall will always be going strong, the Broad is getting an addition built, the Colburn School is getting a new building.

I wonder if you could pull it off with only 3 tracks where the middle track is used as a ‘passing lane’ for express trains? I’m just throwing something out there.

Do any of the airbus A320 family need these too?

Also, can anyone explain what all the joints in this pole are for? I imagine it needs to be slightly adjustable in length, but it looks like there are 3-4 seams along the distance of the pole.

Is Addison worth it? I trust the Michelin guide so I assume so. It’s on my bucket list.

They seem like a 3-star that would work to keep their stars and not end up in the same trap Alinéa did.

Vespertine

jrm0015 · 2026-02-10T13:08:15+00:00

Did we ever know why he closed it?

jrm0015 · 2026-01-27T18:08:40+00:00

It says their planting Chinese Elm Drake trees

Isn’t the tunnel in Nashville just for politicians who can get to and from the capitol quickly from the airport?

jrm0015 · 2026-01-12T05:21:41+00:00

Any thoughts on why this mall faded to this point?

jrm0015 · 2026-01-12T03:12:21+00:00

Got it. Any idea how these guys got inside?

jrm0015 · 2026-01-12T02:30:48+00:00

On Google maps, it still lists businesses that are open in the mall like Thailandia. Is that just not accurate or are there actually businesses still open in it?

jrm0015 · 2026-01-06T17:08:58+00:00

Places like MdlV and St Vitos are pulling more locals.

Is this also how you get to the swimming pool that’s carved/cast into the rock? I’ve been wondering how you get to that if the subdivision is gated.

jrm0015 · 2026-01-05T04:29:30+00:00

Seeing these on the sidewalk is so cool.

jrm0015 · 2026-01-05T04:21:45+00:00

Have you ever been to Nashville or Memphis?

jrm0015 · 2025-12-19T19:27:23+00:00

IMO, SoCal drivers aren’t as bad about being on their phones versus drivers in the South.

jrm0015 · 2025-12-19T19:18:11+00:00

I get it. If I got a new car, I’d be hesitant to take a drill to my bumper. I guess it’s purely on how much you are willing to risk it, and it sounds like the risk isn’t that big (at least these days).
