It’s a credit to the robustness of the Henry G. Gilbert Nursery & Seed Trade Catalog Collection of the USDA’s National Agricultural Library that I was able to find the page our Mr. Svobodny was displaying in the above photo in about 90 seconds.

TIL that Ace Frehley used to live in Wilton, CT, home of the Brownes (founding and succeeding artist of Hi and Lois) and ostensible setting of the strip. though in the Eric Reaves era, Chip's posters have often referred to Reaves's Indiana home

A reminder that just a few days ago Dokoupil wrote: “I can promise you we’ll be more accountable and more transparent than Cronkite or any one else of his era."
Is this what more transparent looks like?

I just checked in on a major piece I did for Curbed Chicago 10 years ago and it’s gone. What is the point of trashing a decade-plus of reporting and criticism on the built environment?
The archives for the old Curbed city sites have been offline for at least two weeks. If these sites are gone for good, it’s not just a loss for those who contributed to Curbed over the years, but a loss of ~15 years of reporting on new development, neighborhoods, and architecture criticism.
