The last word in ugliness. Really. | Philly Flashbacks
https://phillyflashbacks.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/the-last-word-in-ugliness-really
The odd, the interesting and the downright ridiculous. The last word in ugliness. Really. In the photo,. Taken in the early 1920s, you can see the dark ghost of the footprint of a demolished building, just to the south of Congress Hall and just across from the new Public Ledger Building. (Click on this, or any photo, to see a larger image.) Today, there’s no trace of it at all, but, for about 40 years, the city’s much maligned New Courthouse stood on that spot. See the 1895 map, below. DANCE 10, LOOKS 3.

After moving to Philadelphia in 1998, Bob Skiba established the Mixed Pickles Vintage Dance Company. And of course, dance has always played a vital role in ritual expression, as it did during the Baroque....

A Playful Look at Architectural Nonsense. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. How One Parking Garage Exposed a NIMBY's Ulterior Motive. The Piazza is getting a new. At the height of the building boom, numerous high-rises were proposed along the river. So many so that they could have created a densely urban neighborhood on par with West Market Street. The neighborhood bitched and moaned about shadows and access to the river until the economy collapsed. Then they all retreated west of the interstate to pat t...
