A MONDAY RANT


UNION PARK ON A SULTRY DAY

********************************

-- There are three images here

-- (Not my normal)

-- But I’m trying to illustrate a point here.

-- The first image is an oblique image of some wonderful old houses on Crossway Street in Norwich

-- Backed up by an unfeeling pile of brick on Broadway.

-- It ruins my image, it depresses the neighbor.

-- What did the Architect think he was really doing.??

-- Did he think that this flaw would ad interest to the model like a gap in its teeth.

-- Not in my opinion...

-- Exhibit “B” is a picture of this Pile of Bricks at #177

-- And next to it is Exhibit “C” to the south of it trying, nobly, to keep its head up.

-- I hope #176 gets a reduced tax rate for having had its property devalued by its neighbor.

-- Unfortunately, so many architects and builders think only of themselves and so often forget that a building has a responsibility to its neighborhood not just to the bank.

-- OK end of rant, for today 

-- But don’t think it’s not on my mind every day…
