What is so bad about that?

The fact that I'm starting my digital model 4 weeks out.

Sweetness!!!

Looks like a strange mishmash in that photo. I swear part of that looks likes the Seattle waterfront with Qwest Field in the distance, but the rest....

That'd be Seattle.

do your best man^^

Yes, get rid of that accursed Alaskan way and replace it with this beautiful creation~!

That's a photo.

I know this, Im hopping it will be real someday before I die.

Built

I used to be there, but things fell apart and i had to scoot to Maine. I don't think Ill ever be back except to visit, which is a shame, I love Seattle with all my heart.

Come back when the viaduct is dead.

I gotta look at it often - its time has come to become gone.

I've never met a post-war viaduct that I've liked.

Good luck. :)

Seattle FTW!!! <3

Okay, I'll bite. What am I looking at here other than beautiful landscaping in one little area?

Pike Place will never be the same after it has been Foxer-ized. And that is a good thing. Just look for and use the public rest rooms... OMG!!! Just don't move the Crumpet Shoppe!!! }:=)

Public restrooms are entirely below-par in the west. WTF.

I've never seen a Seattle studio, it's a completely un-interesting place to the profession. It's really popular to do the Midwest/Great Lakes right now. As a result, I work with a bunch of Europeans who know more than more Americans about places like rural Ohio, lol.

Pike Place Market's rest rooms are just plain old..old and scarey! I was kind of wondering why, FlagFox showed that link as being in Ireland. Now I know. I can understand that those outside the U.S. know more than those that live here. There is alot I can say here about what the American society has become. But, I think we all have a pretty good idea of the decline in the U.S. Perhaps it is not so much as a decline as it is being self centered.

It's a little scary how backward most Americans are... it's becoming a very stark difference. I don't know what is going on, but more and more I'm a little blown-away by the ways in which this country appears to be stuck somewhere around 1985 - 1990.

I expect it may have something to do with religious attitude, but that seems counter intuitive as religions are one of the greatest driving forces towards building a great society. It's an interesting question, and now that you've posed it, I've just realised that actually I have no idea at all.

Americans have no sense of community, despite what they may think. There is no sense of duty to country despite all the patriotic prattling; American therefore act as though their main role is to sit and consume, and only work hard enough to be able to do so (if they are able to do so). At this conjecture, my reasons diverge and multiply, so I'll save that for clarity.

In contemporary times, 4x4 individualism has hit a smooth patch and it turns out to be a gas-guzzler.

A nice analogy. It seems Britons still keep the same community spirit that always did. It shows through during sporting events and suchlike. Interestingly though religion is largely dying off in the UK. I'm not sure what the connection is though, if any.

To be honest, I think it is just a general decay of American society. There has not been any real leadership out of Washington DC or in many states in very long time. There is no direction. It is like that the gerneral consensus is that, give the US population their big screen, smart phones, big cars, give them all the toys they want and they will be happy...and mindless.

Resources are finite, and a disproportionate share of them have been devoured by Davis-Bacon and the public employee unions. The average Federal employee earns (including benefits) about 3 times the American average. Even after correcting for education, it is about twice as much. State, county, and muciciple employees are nearly as bad. FDR was vehement in opposing government employee unions (though he was a very strong supporter of private sector ones) because he was aware that government is a monopoly, and hence lacks the competition needed to keep union compensation under control. Davis-Bacon roughly doubles construction costs - which doesn't leave much left for aesthetics or even for the most basic utilitarian construction. Roosevelt did not have to pay inflated Davis-Bacon construction costs, nor did he have to pay inflated salaries to government employees. Until that is changed, we won't be seeing any more Boulder Dams.

I completely disagree with you, although I'm too busy to respond to such a detailed statement (whether or not it's correct).

I'm glad that you still have a sense of humor - even when finishing your thesis and preparing to defend it before a committee of very bright people whose duty is to find every weakness. Good luck!

That would be quite a walk to go through all those twist and turns <O.o>

Better than crossing a 4 lane highway, international railway corridor, and scaling a cliff (man made.. that's a different story).

That is one VERY beautiful city D:
San Diego is nice, but still getting a bit too socal for me at times. At least the global weather changes have given us more rain/cool times though!

German architecture?

Good luck. :)
