Important Elgin content.
The promised land
IBC 1009.4.1. If there was a battery option to provide emergency backup power to an elevator, that’d be swell, but it doesn’t exist. Only option is a generator.
If the building is over four stories, then yeah it’s basically required now.
Ivy Tavern is open
June will probably be significant for them because of the World Cup
Their only comments so far have been to reformat our documents and go to zoning board of appeals for a preexisting nonconforming use!
Rezonings and code changes are really hard. Permit reform could be an easy slam dunk for speeding development. I’m working on a commercial development in Boston and it is in limbo because ISD’s plan review is taking ten months and counting.
Olympics watching bonuses: cool buses and neat little self-erecting tower cranes in the background
Downtown Providence, with the river fully frozen over.
I want to walk across it so bad. I crave the ice.
Ya know, if the NIMBYs would stop delaying the proposed redevelopment of this property, this wouldn’t be an issue (the sidewalk would just be completely closed for construction)
Religious persecution in Zurich c. 1700 / leaving Alsace and chasing wealth in the Argentine pampas and failing miserably at it
People of Providence with a Governor from Duxbury 😵
A bunch of my mom’s family have lived in Washington, IL since the 50’s. One great aunt lived a block from the TP&W and I remember seeing some incredibly janky power going by in the 90s.
Hundreds of concrete burial vaults in the process of being installed underground
In case you ever wondered what a new cemetery looks like
… and have tons of time to dedicate the task. I spent probably 30 hours removing the paint and finishing this 5-panel door
Central Maine with a foot of fresh snow
Found some of that missing snow
Did a triple take this morning because I thought a P&W locomotive had been parked at the downtown skating rink
1) Walk up to the top of Mt Eden, after that there’s a good restaurants in the n’hoods just north and south of the park. 2) I had a fantastic dinner at Azabu Ponsonby. 3) There are a lot of wide and busy streets downtown, but look out for the little lanes like High Street that are really nice
Walter Payton uses a paper transfer to ride public transit on the 1979 RTA commercial.
Heck yeah, NOLS

The only way I know what the Pats are up to is seeing unusual aircraft movements to PVD.
Ooo yeah
Got some glow in Providence
I really hope this means the existing WF store becomes available for redevelopment. A 1-acre, C-2 site could easily yield 100+ new homes.
Official signage at a Metra station, suburban Chicago. I think these are going away but it used to be that just about every station had it.
Maybe I’m a little more down the “he’s deep into suffering dementia” rabbit hole than I should be, but putting up signs in happy fonts to help someone find their own bedroom or own bathroom is exactly what you do for someone with dementia.
